Significance of the Study In the market economy, commercial banks always play an extremely important role, considered as the lifeblood of the economy, making great contributions to the industrialization, modernization, and development of the country. If a commercial bank desires substantial, effective business development, its priority must be capital mobilization, especially savings deposits. Savings deposits not only account for a large proportion of total capital but also are a highly stable source of capital, which helps ensure safety and liquidity goals for the bank. With abundant and long-lasting mobilized capital, it will support the bank to increase competitiveness, diversify business activities, spread risks and earn high profits.
Since 2008, after the official decision to merge Ha Dong into a district of Hanoi, Ha Dong has increasingly developed as the most dynamic economic center of our country's capital. In recent times, the banking system has continuously expanded its network in this area. This is really a non-stop competition of the banking system in general and Vietnam International Commercial Joint Stock Bank (VIB) in particular in the financial market. Banks are constantly improving themselves in all aspects in order to meet the customers' requirements.
Customer satisfaction is the vital goal of the banking system and VIB is no exception. Although VIB's capital has grown steadily over the years, VIB Ha Dong's capital mobilization market share in this area has decreased gradually. Moreover, among VIB's 14 branches in the South of Hanoi, VIB Ha Dong is considered as the focal point, always leading in credit card and bancassurance sales, but only ranked 4th in terms of capital mobilization. Faced with fierce competition from competitors, how to maintain the position and continue to expand prosperity is not an easy problem for VIB Ha Dong.
Until now, there has not been any official research on this issue conducted at VIB Ha Dong. So through the analysis of customer satisfaction, managers of VIB Ha Dong can better understand the behavior, attitudes, and aspirations of customers, thereby having an information basis to make decisions more accurately in determining the capital development of their banks. 1 Aware of the importance of the research problem and derived from that actual need, I have decided to choose the topic "Improving customer satisfaction on savings deposit service at VIB - Ha Dong Branch” for my graduation thesis.

Structure of the Study This research is divided into 6 chapters with specific contents as follows: Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 2: Literature review Chapter 3: Methodology Chapter 4: Findings and discussion Chapter 5: Conclusion and recommendation 3 CHAPTER II: LITERATURE REVIEW To conduct the research, the author will start with the literature review on the issues related to the research topic. The purpose of literature review is to integrates and summarises what is known about a subject. From there, the author will have an overview, complete and basic knowledge base on the research topic.
Definition of savings deposit According to Article 6 Regulations on savings deposits No. 1160/2004/QD-NHNN, savings deposit is an individual's money deposited into a deposit account, confirmed on a passbook, entitled to an interest in accordance with the regulations of Depository Institutions, and insured by the law on deposit insurance. This type of deposit is considered an investment today to have a larger amount of money in the future. This is a potential source of capital for the bank, so in order to increase this potential capital source, in addition to offering an appropriate interest rate policy to ensure the interests of depositors, the bank also offers promotions to attract customers.
Features of savings deposit In the classification of economic sectors of the General Statistics Office of Vietnam, banking is distributed in the service sector. Therefore, savings deposit is also considered as a service product. And if so, savings deposit will have all four basic characteristics as a service product as follows: Invisibility Savings deposit service does not have a specific physical form. Customers receive and consume the service through communication activities, receiving information and as a result, their needs are met.
There is also a special point that customers can only evaluate the quality of services after they have purchased and used them.
