ArmInfo. VTB Bank (Armenia) proposes to use the Interest- Bearing Account service with a rate of 1.5-9.5% per annum to all those customers who wish to maintain and, most importantly, increase their dram savings. As ArmInfo was explained in the press service of the bank, the client's Interest-Bearing Account allows them to replenish and withdraw funds from their account at any time and without any restrictions. This account is a kind of piggy bank that has an unlimited duration and combines the security of the deposit and the flexibility of a bank account.
According to the source, the yield on the Interest-bearing Account is 1.51-9.92% per annum at a rate of 9.5%. Unlike a term deposit, by opening an Interest-Bearing Account with VTB Bank (Armenia), a client has the opportunity to withdraw funds or replenish a Savings account at a convenient time, an unlimited number of times, without losing any interest accrued.
You can open an Interest-Bearing Account not only in 72 branches of VTB Bank (Armenia), but also remotely using the Video Bank service.

The main conditions of the Interest-Bearing Account of VTB Bank (Armenia): account opening - free of charge; monthly account maintenance - free of charge, if during the calendar month the daily cash balance on the Interest-Bearing Account was 10 thousand drams or more, otherwise, the commission for servicing the account is 390 drams; replenishment and withdrawal of funds from the account: without restrictions; lack of a minimum and maximum contribution amount; interest payment - monthly with capitalization; monthly interest is calculated on the amount of the minimum cash balance of the Interest-Bearing Account for the last three months (including the current month) and capitalized on the actual balance of the account. The larger the amount in the Interest-Bearing Account and the longer it remains in the account, the higher the accrued interest. The rates on the Interest-Bearing Account are 1.5-9.5% per annum in drams, depending on the term and amount.
For a more comfortable use of the service, VTB Bank (Armenia) offers its customers to replenish their savings accounts automatically through the service of the Periodic Payment Order.
