OREANDA-NEWS  According to the results of the first decade of March 2026, the maximum interest rate on ruble deposits in the ten largest Russian banks fell to 13.87 percent, significantly lagging behind the key one. This is reported on the website of the Central Bank (CB).

For comparison, at the end of February, the indicator was at the level of 14.06 percent per annum. Thus, in the first ten days of March, it decreased by 0.19 percentage points.

When determining the maximum interest rate for each credit institution, the maximum deposit rates available to any client are taken into account. The statistics do not take into account interest rates with capitalization on deposits and deposits with additional conditions.

The fact that bank deposits in Russia have recently become less profitable for customers was also previously reported by analysts of the financial marketplace Finuslugi. According to their data, by March 10, the average three-month deposit rate in the top 20 banks in terms of capitalization had fallen to 13.99 percent, for semi—annual deposits to 13.77 percent, for annual deposits to 12.7 percent, and for one—and—a-half-year deposits to 11.36 percent.
