Accordingly, consumer lending becomes a fundamental and vital activity to meet people’s needs and contribute to the development of the country.

Research structure The research structure can be divided into three chapters as follows: Chapter 1: Theoretical framework on consumer lending activities in commercial banks Chapter 2: Analyzing the situation of consumer lending activities in Sai Gon Joint Stock Commercial Bank - Dong Da branch Chapter 3: Solutions to improve consumer lending activities in Sai Gon Joint Stock Commercial Bank - Dong Da branch 2 CHAPTER 1: THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK ON CONSUMER LENDING ACTIVITIES IN COMMERCIAL BANKS 1.1 Overview about credit activities in commercial banks 1.1 Definitions of bank credit activities Credit is the most important activity of financial institutions as well as banks, accounting for the highest proportion of total assets, generating the largest income from interest and also the activity bringing the highest risk (Pham Thi Thu Ha, Commercial Bank, The National Economic University of Publisher in 2007).
According to Peter (2004), credit is generally considered to refer to a bank’s funding of customer-related activities (sometimes referred to as bank credit), which primarily influences the existence and growth of the banks. However, because diverse research views also result in differing understandings, it is challenging to define credit precisely. In general, bank credit is described as a method of transferring money (capital) from lenders to borrowers, or from the subject of a surplus of savings to the subject of a deficit of saving (Pham Thi Thu Ha, Commercial Bank, The National Economic University of Publisher in 2007). As stated by Trinh Thi Mai Hoa, textbook of Banking and Finance, The National University of Publisher, a bank credit transaction is an exchange of assets between two parties with the expectation of repayment.
The most typical is a loan transaction between banks and other financial organizations, between companies and individuals, where banks lend to the borrowers, and they then have a certain amount of time to pay back the principal and interest. Bank credit is another term for the sum of money that financial institutions lend to their clients. Thus, bank credit is defined as a transaction involving the transfer of assets (such as money or products) from a lender (such as banks and financial organizations) to a borrower for use over a certain period of time. When the payment is due, the borrower must pay both the principal and interest to the lender.2 Categories of bank credit activities According to the Decision No 493/2005/QD-NHNN of the State Bank of Vietnam (2007), the bank credit activities can be categorized on the basis of borrower types, loan terms and loan purpose as follows: 4 1.1 Based on the type of borrowers - Credit for corporate customers: Credit to serve the needs of supplementing capital for business of enterprises to implement business plans or investment projects.
- Credit for individuals: Credit for consumption or production needs of individuals and households.2 Based on loan terms - Short-term credit is a sort of credit having a period of 12 months or less that is used to cover a temporary shortage of working capital for enterprises and short-term expenditure requirements for people. The risk associated with this sort of financing is typically relatively minimal because banks can quickly predict impending swings as well as preventive measures. This category of credit comprises overdraft, working capital supplement, and discount credit. - Medium-term credit: A type of credit with a term of more than one year to five years, which is mostly used for investments in and purchases of fixed assets, upgrades or replacements of machinery and technology, growth of production and business, and small-scale construction projects with quick repayment periods.
Additionally, medium-term credit can be used by businesses as regular operating capital. This category comprises project credit, finance leasing credit, etc. - Long-term credit is a sort of credit with a duration of more than five years (or defined for more than seven years in some banks) that is used to finance capital for infrastructure projects (roads, bridges, schools, yards, airports, etc.) and construction investment projects. This sort of credit frequently has a significant level of risk because of the lengthy implementation process and lengthy payback time period, especially when it is challenging to anticipate all the swings it may experience.3 Based on the purpose of using the loan - Production and business credit: Loans for production and business are credit products designed to address the demand for loans for production and business plans as well as investment initiatives.
5 - Consumer credit: Consumer credit is credit used to pay for personal and household expenses like housing, appliances, transportation, education, health care, and travel.3 Roles of bank credit activities 1.1 For business operations of bank - Credit operations help to establish the right conditions for commercial banks to expand other business ventures and boost their revenue.
