Tran Thi Hoang Anh i Graduation Thesis Banking Academy EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Traditionally, most banks in Viet Nam only focus on loans to corporate clients while tend to ignore those to individual customers. However, in recent years, thanks to globalization with the participation of many foreign banks in Viet Nam banking industry, consumer lending has become a more important part in the banking operations. This operation would bring a lot of benefits to not only the banks, but also the customers and the whole economy. Some experts have claimed that consumer lending will be a potential source of profit if banks pay much attention to this lending activity.
Therefore, it is necessary for banks in general and Joint Stock Bank for Investment and Development of Viet Nam in particular to assess their current consumer lending in some aspects like: revenue, profit and overdue debt. By thorough assessment, some suggestions could be applied to enhance the efficiency of profitable consumer lending.

RATIONALE OF THE STUDY Consumer loans had been introduced a long time ago in European countries as a tool to satisfy people’s expectations. However, until the early twentieth century, most consumers had limited access to credit, or found it quite expensive. Only the richer or more politically powerful were able to obtain personal loans from commercial banks because banks did not grant consumer loans to the general public. Access to credit was a privilege reserved for the elite and getting a personal loan meant more than just filling out an application.
It required signing countless documents, often including co-signors, collateral, waiting for approval and, if approved, the applicant would have to endure a repayment lecture from the bank officer before receiving the loan. Today, sophisticated processes allow consumers to get credit or a personal loan in a variety of manners. In addition, as a result of the whole society’s development, people’s incomes have been increasing over time. People now expect more things than ever before.
They do not want to wait 20 years to accumulate enough money for a nice house, or 5 years to afford a car. That might lead to the prosperity of consumer loans in the world in general and in Viet Nam in particular. In recent years, Vietnamese’s average income has been going up and their consumption demand, in turn, has been rising. However, sometimes, their finance abilities are not sufficient to these demands.
Therefore, commercial banks have launched and developed consumer loans to help customers meet their needs sooner. This operation has been noticed and flourished in recent times. The participation of many commercial banks creates a fiercely competitive environment. Moreover, the involvement of some worldwide famous retail banks like: HSBC, ANZ… forces banks introducing more new products services.
The activeness of this field is also added by a global payments technology company, Visa and other organizations. Bank for Investment and Development of Viet Nam (BIDV) is not an exception in this sector. Tran Thi Hoang Anh 1 Graduation Thesis Banking Academy With 50-year experience and professional labor force, its target is to become one of the commercial banks holding the leading position in the retail sector. However, since 2009, Vietnam’s economy has suffered detrimental effects of global economic crisis like: decreasing GDP and tightened consumption in the public.
Therefore, the government and the State Bank of Viet Nam have passed some regulations to stimulate production and consumption. As a result, Viet Nam’s economy has gradually recovered. The economic recovery leads to the increase in consumption demand, which is the condition for the development of consumer lending. Moreover, in comparison with wholesale credit, consumer loans are gradually considered as a type of retail credit with many advantages such as: spreading risk, developing many services.
This is proved by its larger proportion in debt balance of many commercial banks as well as BIDV. With the hope of providing a deeper view about consumer loans at BIDV Dong Do branch, the researcher attempted to investigate into the topic “Enhance efficiency of consumer lending at BIDV Dong Do Branch – Situation and Suggestions”.
