Current Armenia deposit‑rate environment (2024–2025): why rates are high — headline stats and recent levels
Armenia's deposit market has been rewarding savers. The average deposit interest rate stood around 8.15% in 2024, per World Bank data via TradingEconomics, indicating elevated returns on bank savings compared with many markets.
Against this backdrop, the Central Bank of Armenia's deposit facility rate was approximately 5.25% as of September 2025—below the retail rates quoted by many banks, a gap that helps explain why headline retail deposit offers remain attractive.
Monthly leaderboard: scope
This leaderboard summarizes the highest advertised rates for standard retail term deposits offered in Armenia, focusing on:
- AMD term deposits (primary focus) and USD (secondary), using public rate tables
- Common tenors where the highest yields cluster (typically 12–24 months)
- Top‑5 banks by headline nominal annual rate within each currency/tenor bucket where available
We prioritize sources that aggregate bank offers or publish official rate schedules.
data sources and inclusion rules (which banks, currencies and tenors are tracked)
Our primary data input is MoneyMarket.am's deposit tables for AMD and USD, complemented by spot‑checks on bank websites when illustrating term‑structure examples (e.g., Araratbank's "Term" deposit).
Banks regularly visible among top offers include ACBA, Armeconombank, Araratbank, Evocabank, and Artsakhbank, depending on currency and tenor.
We track AMD and USD deposit offers where publicly listed and comparable; AMD typically leads on yield, while USD yields are materially lower but still competitive by global standards.
Tenors: the richest yields are generally in the 12–24 month range, though exact term steps vary by bank and product. For example, one published schedule shows a pronounced step‑up from sub‑6‑month to 18–24‑month buckets.
Top Armenian dram (AMD) term deposit offers: current leaders
Headline AMD yields remain in double digits on longer terms. Current tables show:
- Top offers around 10.5% p.a., with ACBA and Armeconombank among the leaders on longer tenors.
- A broader pack near 10.25% p.a., including Araratbank and Evocabank for approximately 18–24 month placements.
These levels align with Armenia's high average deposit interest regime and underscore the yield premium available for AMD savers.
