Since the beginning of November, approximately 10 other banks have increased their savings rates. Previously, several banks had already raised savings rates in October and early November, including Sacombank, VPBank, SHB, HDBank, GPBank, NCB, BVBank, and Bac A Bank.

According to industry experts, the widespread increase in interest rates indicates that the competition for capital mobilization has intensified again in Q4/2025, particularly among joint-stock commercial banks, to meet the rising capital demand at year-end and narrow the gap between deposit and lending growth.

In a newly released macroeconomic report, Vietcombank Securities (VCBS) forecasts that deposit interest rates will trend upward by year-end, especially among joint-stock commercial banks, driven by two main factors.

First, liquidity pressure in the banking system is increasing as credit is expected to accelerate strongly in the final months of the year, with full-year growth estimated at 18-20%. As of late October, credit had grown by 13.37% compared to the end of 2025, reflecting strong capital demand in the economy.

Second, the risk of USD/VND exchange rate fluctuations remains, given the increased demand for foreign currency during the peak import season at year-end.

Consequently, VCBS predicts that deposit interest rates may rise again at some joint-stock commercial banks by year-end to meet capital needs and manage systemic risks, while remaining at a low level in line with growth support policies.
