How to receive interest when depositing money at Agribank?
Formula for calculating bank interest:
Interest = Deposit x interest rate (%)/12 months x deposit term
With a deposit of 150 million VND at Agribank, customers can receive the following interest:
1 month term (interest rate 2.2%/year):
Interest = 150 million VND × 2.2% / 12 × 1 month = 275,000 VND.
6-month term (interest rate 3.5%/year):
Interest = 150 million VND × 3.5% / 12 × 6 months = 2,625,000 VND.
24-month term (interest rate 4.8%/year):
Interest = 150 million VND × 4.8% / 12 × 24 months = 14,400,000 VND.
Note that the above interest amount is calculated by the interest payment method at the end of the period and is for reference only. For the most detailed and updated information, customers should contact the nearest Agribank branch directly or visit the bank's official website.
