The banking system in Vietnam has changed in recent years in both quantity and ranking.
Banks in Vietnam have been developing in the trend of providing customers flexible products and high quality services. According to Vietnam Banking Industry Report in 2015, there were currently 48 banks operating in Vietnam, in which there were 5 state- owned commercial banks (SOCBs), 33 joint stock commercial banks (JSCBs), 5 joint venture banks, and 5 wholly foreign-owned banks (Tran et al. Apart from domestic debit cards (ATM cards), deposits are the primary product of each bank. Customers’ deposits are the source for the flow of money within a bank.
Being in top 5 largest private commercial banks in Vietnam, Saigon- Hanoi Commercial Joint Stock Bank (SHB) also pays attention to developing deposit products. The bank’s annual report in 2015 showed that one of the main business activities of SHB is mobilizing short-term, medium-term, and long-term deposits from individuals and organizations. In 2015, the total customers’ deposits into SHB were over 157 billions VND whereas the customer loans were over 131 billions VND. In comparison to 2014, the total amount of customers’ deposits has increased 23.
It can be seen that mobilizing deposits is one of the vital business activities of SHB. During more than 22 years of development, SHB has maintained steady growth and sustainability as well was the confidence and expectations of customers, shareholders, and investors. The success and reputation of SHB has been recognized by the Party and the State and the bank has received many prestigious awards from reputational domestic and international organizations. In 2015, SHB was awarded as the “Best Customer Service Bank” in Vietnam by the Global Banking and Finance and the Alpha Southeast Asia.
The success in its customer service may result in positive customers’ attitudes and behaviors towards the bank. Within the diversely and strictly competitive environment of the banking market in Vietnam, customers have various choices to entrust their assets. 1 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com Therefore, all the banks are on the race to gain customer satisfaction, and further to gain customer loyalty in depositing their money into the bank by opening savings accounts. Defining customer deposits as the most important service product in SHB’s business, the bank is also striving to win the race.
However, during the operation process, SHB only focuses on large customers (groups and corporations) without paying much attention to individual customers. As a result, the customer satisfaction towards SHB deposit products is not very high. The number of complaints about SHB's deposit transactions has increased steadily (from 65 complaints to 97 complaints in the period of 2014 to 2016). The average waiting time for a customer's transaction also increased from 13 minutes to 16 minutes.
In addition, customers were not pleased with the interest rate policy and deposit policy issued by SHB. Because of those facts, the need to study the determinants of customer satisfaction and the strategies to achieve customers’ satisfaction is an urgent problem. Customer satisfaction in the banking industry is not the new or exploratory research field both in Vietnam and overseas. However, most of the studies focused on other segments such as credit, cards, internet banking, or consumption loans.
There have been only a few of studies on deposit products and services. In addition, there have been no studies on customer satisfaction towards deposit products conducted at SHB. Therefore, the author selected the topic “Recommendations to enhance customer satisfaction towards deposit products at SHB” as his master thesis.2 Research overview In Vietnam, there have been some similar topics by other authors including: Master thesis of Le Minh Trang (2014) entitled “Studying the customer satisfaction towards quality of deposit service of AGRIBANK in Ho Chi Minh City”. The research aimed at investigating the important elements of deposit service of AGRIBANK, evaluating customers’ feeling about these elements, then identifying the satisfaction of customers towards these elements to improve the 2 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com quality of deposit services provided by AGRIBANK.
The research results were achieved by employing both qualitative and quantitative research methods. Master thesis of Nguyen Thi Quynh Nhu (2014) entitled “Evaluating the satisfaction of individual customers towards deposit products of VIETINBANK – Can Tho Branch”. The research applied quantitative method by analyzing data collected from a survey questionnaire. It considered the satisfaction of more than 100 customers and evaluated the factors that significantly affected the level of customer satisfaction towards deposit products of AGRIBANK in Can Tho.
In addition to specific topics in customer deposits segment, there have been also various studies on customer satisfaction in banking products and services in general and other banking segments in particular. Scientific research of Tran Hong Hai (2014) entitled “Studying factors affecting customer satisfaction towards ATM card services of VIETCOMBANK – Vinh Long Branch”. The research model was built based on models such as SERVQUAL (service quality model), SERVPERF (service perform model), ACSI (American Customer satisfaction Index) and ECSI (European Customer satisfaction Index). The result showed four factors affecting customer satisfaction towards ATM card services of VIETCOMBANK-Vinh Long.
On that basis, the author proposed some recommendations to enhance this satisfaction. From the results of previous studies, some aspects of customer satisfaction were revealed. Although the quality of services has constantly been increasing, there are still some limitation in the quality of services such as service capacity, behavior, infrastructure conditions, equipment, network, and service charges. This is the basis for the author to conduct a study on deposit products of SHB in Hanoi in these aspects.3 Aims of the study Basing on the urgency of the study, the main purposes of the research consisted of: Reviewing primary theories and issues that are generally related to customer satisfaction.
