Retail banking overview: Retail banking also known as Consumer Banking is the provision of services by a bank to individual consumers, rather than to companies, corporations or other banks. Services offered include savings and transactional accounts, mortgages, personal loans, debit cards, and credit cards. The term is generally used to distinguish these banking services from investment banking, commercial banking or wholesale banking.
It may also be used to refer to a division or department of a bank dealing with retail customers. Currently there is no exact definition of the concept of retail banking. The definition of retail banking often comes from services or customers that the product forward. According to the most common interpretation, retail banking is actively providing financial products and services primarily to customers, who are individuals, households and small businesses.
Retail banking services provision application of financial products and services to individuals through a network of individual branches, 8 TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com transaction offices, or the customer can have direct access to banking products and services through the media, electronics and telecommunications. Vietnam, which has population of about 90 million people with growing income, is a potential market of commercial banks.

Commercial banks tend to move to the retail, improving access to individual clients, small and medium-sized enterprises.

Following this trend of banking sector, BIDV has issued rational strategy to develop retail banking operation with proper methods and synchronistically organizing from head quarter to branches.Due to this strategy, result of retail banking operation in the period 2013 – 2015 was at high-level growth in scale, efficiency and quality. In 2015, according to Internal report of BIDV 2013 - 2015, BIDV continues maintaining the 1th position in retail banking operation in Vietnam with the retail banking scale of 495 thousand billion VND.
In some other main retail banking criterions, BIDV has also made remarkable results: - Retail Capital Mobilization in 2015 was 355 thousand billion VND, increasing 1.7 times in comparison with 2013, which made BIDV lead at the 1th position about retail capital mobilization among comercial banks in Vietnam. 9 TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com - Retail Loan outstanding in 2015 was 140 thousand billion VND, increasing 2.4 times in comparison with 2013, which made BIDV have the most loan outstanding among comercial banks in Vietnam. - Retail Profit in 2015 was 8.6 thousand billion VND, increasing nearly 2 times after 2 years, average growth in 2013-2015 period was 33%. In the trend of retail operation development, in contrast, the retail operation of BIDV North Saigon branch has showed inefficiency in comparison with entire BIDV system and other BIDV branches in Ho Chi Minh City region.
