The interest rate for premature withdrawal of deposits is agreed upon in accordance with the provisions of Article 5 of this Circular. In the absence of an agreement on premature withdrawal of deposits, credit institutions shall apply the interest rate for premature withdrawal of deposits in accordance with the provisions of this Circular.

What will be the banking interest rate if the entire deposit is withdrawn prematurely?
According to Article 5 of Circular 04/2022/TT-NHNN, the banking interest rate for premature withdrawal of the entire deposit is regulated as follows:
Interest Rates for Premature Withdrawal of Deposits
1. In the case of customers withdrawing the entire deposit prematurely: credit institutions shall apply a maximum interest rate equal to the lowest demand deposit interest rate of that credit institution according to customer categories and/or the type of currency deposited at the time the customer withdraws the deposit prematurely.
2. In the case of customers withdrawing part of the deposit prematurely:
a) For the part of the deposit withdrawn prematurely, credit institutions shall apply a maximum interest rate equal to the lowest demand deposit interest rate of that credit institution according to customer categories and/or the type of currency deposited at the time the customer withdraws the deposit prematurely;
b) For the remaining part of the deposit, credit institutions shall apply the current interest rate for the deposit from which the customer withdraws part prematurely.
When the entire deposit is withdrawn prematurely from the bank, the maximum interest rate that the customer receives will be equal to the lowest demand deposit interest rate of the credit institution according to customer categories, based on the deposited currency at the time the customer withdraws prematurely.
