Which bank has the highest interest rate?

Readers can refer to interest rates of some other banks through the following table:

PVcomBank's interest rate is currently at its highest, at 9.5%/year for a 12-13 month deposit term with a minimum deposit of VND2,000 billion.

Next is HDBank with a fairly high interest rate, 8.1%/year for a 13-month term and 7.7% for a 12-month term, with the condition of maintaining a minimum balance of 500 billion VND.

MSB also applies a fairly high interest rate with interest rates at bank counters of up to 8%/year for a term of 13 months. The applicable conditions are that the savings book is newly opened or the savings book is opened from January 1, 2018, automatically renewed with a term of 12 months, 13 months and the deposit amount is from 500 billion VND.

Dong A Bank has a deposit interest rate, term of 13 months or more, end-of-term interest with deposits of 200 billion VND or more, applying an interest rate of 7.5%/year.

Deposit 500 million VND for 12-month term, what is the interest rate?

To calculate interest on savings deposits at the bank, you can apply the formula:

Interest = deposit x interest rate %/12 x number of months of deposit

For example, if you deposit 500 million VND for a 12-month term at Bank A with an interest rate of 5.2%/year, you can receive: 500 million VND x 5.2%/12 x 12 = 26 million VND.

With the same term amount, if you deposit savings in Bank B with an interest rate of 5.7%, the interest you receive will be: 500 million VND x 5.7%/12 x 12 = 28.5 million VND.
