The quantitative research with 6 independent observed variables correlates together and with a dependent variable (SAT). The collected data used for evaluating the scale through Cronbach’s alpha, EFA, regression, correlation, and so on in the research model. The thesis includes 3 main parts: First, the topic introduces situations and makes the scale based on the model of Parasuraman (1985) named SERVQUAL with some background in the service sector or refers to research buildings of the author in Vietnam and abroad.
Second, the result of variables in the research model impacting on customer satisfaction at ACB in HCMC.

The importance of research Service sector in general and in particular “Commercial banks” in Vietnam, that is always wondering about: “How can they satisfy their customers? What factors will directly affect the customer’s decision?” That’s the request which leaders are always put on top for the company. Moreover, in order to survive in the business market, they have to constantly change, improve, innovate their management methods and elevate their position day in and day out to adapt to their customer while ensuring trust to customers. The prequisition purpose of building this survey of customer satisfaction is that collecting the values and reliability of reviews and perceptions from customer to business performance. Besides, this activity helps to know what expectations do by customers? What reasons related to that? After collecting pieces of information, then set up business strategy and customer strategy.
etc to allocate resources, improve weaknesses to serve the most necessary customer's needs. Many commercial banks are currently working on business activities in Vietnam that must always compete in the diversity of many fields to develop the service sector and their service quality and tackle all customer demands. ACB is no exception, however, the similarity in terms of general fields at the commercial bank such as technology, brand, service quality, etc is not yet popular. Therefore, in order to develop and survive sustainably, they have to legalize supply and demand or in other called quantity goes parallel with quality.
Upgrading the company’s strongest points, creating its own distinctive character identity. Customers are the lifeblood of the bank, helping the bank to develop and survive through transactions. Enhancing the service quality is the main factor of market competition, commercial banks need to maintain, refer and constantly improve them through meeting customer needs, which is the first step of optimization. Service quality is intangible, affected by a service delivery banking process, from the beginning of the research model 1|Page to the design of samples and customer care.
The intangible nature of the services, taking place in an indeterminate space and time, therefore, is assessed to be more difficult and complex than goods or products. Vietnam implemented its commitments when becoming an official member of the World Trade Organization - WTO in the banking sector in November 2006. It was followed by the participation of wholly foreign-owned banks and affiliated banks. Therefore, the fierce competition among banking institutions in the future will become closer and closer, even more fierce, this will be strongly implemented by Vietnam with its commitments set out from the beginning.
After participating in WTO and facing many threats, opportunities, and even competitions, national commercial banks are gradually enhancing their business competitiveness through technology upgrading, network enhancement, increase in charter capital, etc to capture the market before banks operate as the normal ways of the domestic banks. However, with small-medium banks, it is necessary to speed up their operations to avoid the risk of dissolution and merger due to improper regulations of the State Bank. For that main reason, customer satisfaction is as well as a vital factor of success or failure. Asia Commercial Joint Stock Bank – ACB is considered to be a banking institution that has a scale of capital and human resources, moreover, the ACB system covers the whole country from the north to the south.
In the tendency of enhancing competition on customer services quality, ACB is one of the competitors that understands and identifies clearly the issues to serve the customer needs well and raise income from service activities parallelly. In particular, the service, which ACB focuses on, improves the satisfaction of transfer- payment service. That’s the reason why the author researches the topic: “The service quality factors affecting customer satisfaction in transfers and payments at Asia Commercial Bank Joint Stock in Ho Chi Minh City”. Research question To make the purpose clearly in this research, the thesis needs to answer the research questions below: 2|Page Q1.
What ACB’s strengths of transfer-payment service compare with other competitors in the same field? Q2. How will transfer-payment service quality affect customer satisfaction? Q3. How will transfer-payment service quality affect ACB’s business performance? 1. Scope of research.
