Major banks successfully navigate their digital transformation while other banks struggle to implement a coherent approach. Customer experience is now one of the most significant success elements in banking as empowered digital consumers continue to elevate their expectations. Over the next ten years, financial services will likely change as a result of open banking and accessible economics, as business models also evolve.
In order to navigate these dynamics, banks must alter their operational strategy to one that is based on an ecosystem with reliable partnerships. As a pioneer bank in the integration of scientific and technological developments into business operations, product and service development, according to TPBank’s official website, TPBank is proud to have achieved various remarkable accomplishments and contributions during its development journey. However, based on the user feedbacks from two operating systems iOS and Android which are presented on a website evaluating service quality of TPBank, security concerns, login issues, and transaction mistakes are just a few of the problems that still need to be resolved, thereby allowing commercial banks to provide best perceived values to customer satisfaction. Therefore, based on the findings, the author therefore suggested appropriate recommendations to enhance and develop E-Banking service in the future including boosting reliability, security, convenience, and effectiveness of the bank app as well as promoting information technology to modernize the features of E- Banking service.
Since today’s society is becoming more and more developed, the needs for rising living standards are gradually increasing. As a result, utilizing mobile phones to make transactions and payments would be much more effective when TPBank focuses on building a speedy and well-functioning app. Furthermore, upgrading brand position and credibility in the market and applying a professional staff training strategy play an essential role. With the higher credibility and skillful employees, TPBank could approach high quality sources of customers such as big corporations and even potential individual customers, which leads to promotion of service packages and brings high profits for the whole organization.

Rationale According to a book named “Service quality at Vietnam Entrepreneur” published by Ass. Phan Chi Anh (2015) through the research of Vietnam National University, the service quality in Vietnam has not yet been getting enough consideration. A wide range of real problems including service quality, customer satisfaction and the close-knit relationship between both of them has been discussed in that book, especially in the banking industry. Customers in particular are crucial to the bank's continued existence and growth.
For that reason, the bank that captures the interest and devotion of its clients will prosper and expand. Therefore, the customer-oriented strategy is becoming the leading strategy of commerce today. The challenge that banks constantly strive to solve is how to provide consumers with the highest level of satisfaction. Whether a business is small or huge, customer satisfaction is the primary factor determining its success.
Real situation: In the age of technological development, Vietnamese commercial banks must put every effort into catching up with the modernization of banking to satisfy the demands of growing competition, integration, and development. As a result, concentrating on establishing contemporary banking applications by constantly diversifying and enhancing the quality-of-service offerings could allow commercial banks to achieve this goal. According to TPBank’s official website, TPBank is a commercial joint-stock bank founded in 2008 and has been offering e-banking services for nearly 10 years with the use of technology solutions like eCounter, eGold, and multi-utility consumer card solutions. This type of digital banking enables customers to automatically transact remotely and integrates internet banking and mobile banking; money transfers, withdrawals, transaction authentication by face and fingerprint, and QR codes.
Moreover, TPBank was the initial bank to introduce an eBank version in the light of modern technology in 2014. To develop and enhance service quality through the system, however, TPBank's e-banking service quality is a topic of particular importance and needs to be tested and evaluated on a regular basis through the digital banking system. The nature of the service environment has changed dramatically resulting from the implementation of E-banking service at Vụ Thi Thu Huong — 11192353- Business English Vietnamese banks, specifically the shift from the conventional setting to an online environment with a technological platform. Understanding the reality of how the service works and the difficulties that customers are experiencing, the author has conducted a study on particular factors that E-banking services bring to customers, thereby finding some solutions to overcome difficulties, and propose recommendations to develop E-Banking service at Tien Phong Bank.
All of these contents will be included in a study named “A Study on Some Factors Affecting Customer Satisfaction in E-Banking Service and Some Recommendations for its Developments at a Commercial Joint Stock Bank in Hanoi from 2020 to 2022”. Research Objectives There are three desirable outcomes that the study aims to produce. Firstly, this study aims to identify the real situation of customer satisfaction when using E-Banking service of TPBank in recent years. The second goal of the study is pointing out and assessing factors affecting the satisfaction of TPBank Hoan Kiem Branch when using E-Banking service, thereby proposing possible recommendations based on opinions of experts in banking industry to improve customer satisfaction when using E-Banking service of TPBank.
Research Questions Question 1: What is the real situation of Customer Satisfaction when using Tien Phong Bank’s E-Banking Service? Question 2: What are the factors most affecting customer satisfaction in E- Banking service?
