While other banks struggle to put an unified strategy into practice, major banks successfully navigate their digital transformation.
Customer experience is now one of the most important success factors in banking as empowered digital consumers continue to raise their expectations. Open banking and open finance promise to alter financial services over the next ten years as business models also change. Banks must change their operating model to one based on an ecosystem with dependable partnerships in order to navigate these forces. BIDV is delighted to have made numerous notable contributions and successes during its development process as a pioneer bank in the application of scientific and technology advancements to commercial activities, product and service development.
However, there are still a lot of issues that need to be fixed, including security flaws, login problems, and transaction errors. Because of these issues, many clients would be hesitant to use this kind of service. Therefore, on the basis of findings, the authors proposed recommendations for these subjects. They are respectively: IT promotion, Frequent survey implementation, VIP customers’ priviledges application, Safety and security reinforcement, Customers’ eficient expectation increase and Staff’s quality training methods.
In general, to help t achieve its anticipated efficiency, BIDV has to introduce more standout features on the platform, such as preferential policies for VIP users. Additionally, by regularly surveying its customers, the bank will be able to enhance its service and give them a memorable experience. In the process of developing a service, the safety and security factor always occupies the top spot, so it is essential to preserve and further improve this component. Last but not least, the human resource component is particularly crucial because bank employees are the ones that deal with clients directly and conduct transactions; hence, consumers' perceptions of BIDV will be reflected in their interactions with staff.

Rationale In the age of rapid technological development along with the current tendency of integration with the international economy, competition is extremely important for most fields in our economy, especially in the banking sector. Currently, Vietnamese state-owned commercial and private commercial banks are facing the entry of foreign banks and multinational financial groups with a lot of experience, financial potential, and advanced modern technology. In order to develop, Vietnamese commercial banks must make every effort to keep up with the process of banking modernization.
Therefore, in addition to perfecting traditional operations, they need to be focused on developing modern banking applications by constantly diversifying and improving the quality-of-service products to meet the requirements of expanding competitiveness, integration and development. E-banking was once a trend of the 2000s and 2010s. Now, it is gradually being replaced by the trend of Digital banking, which is a more optimal service, a higher step of E-banking. In addition to state-owned commercial banks, private commercial banks are also accelerating in the digital race.
Since integrating with the world economy, Vietnamese commercial banks have successfully applied electronic services and it is impossible not to mention the pioneer bank in the field of Digital banking. It is Bank for Investment and Development of Vietnam which has always played a key role in the banking system in Vietnam. Many products and services have been launched and improved, of which BIDV has launched the new generation of Digital banking application - Smart Banking service. With the rapid development of information technology, Smart-banking service is gradually becoming the decisive service of BIDV in the present and in the future.
In fact, BIDV have been actively developing this service segment; however, there are numerous unresolved difficulties such as transaction errors, login errors, security issue and so on. As a result, these problems would make many customers hesitate when choosing to use this type of service. Understanding the reality of how the service works and the difficulties that customers are experiencing, the author has conducted a study on the advantages and disadvantages that Smart-banking services bring to customers, thereby finding some solutions to overcome difficulties, propose recommendations to Ngo Phuong Dung — 11191154 — Business English 61B develop Smart-Banking service at BIDV. All these contents will be included in a study named “The current situation of Smart-banking service activities and some recommendations for its developments at Bank for Investment and Development of Vietnam at Ngoc Khanh branch”.
Research Objectives In the face of competitive challenges to survive and develop, efforts and expansion of Smart-banking services are essential for BIDV. There are three desirable outcomes that the study aims to produce. Firstly, the topic goes into researching the features of Smart-banking service that the customers use, from which the benefits and difficulties of this service’s operation would be revealed. Moreover, the research also investigates the expectations of customers about how the service can be improved by conducting paper surveys.
The last goal is practical recommendations for improving the service quality so as to gain more reputation and customer loyalty. Research Scope The author would limit the research so as to concentrate on the current situation of Smart-banking service operation from March 2021, when BIDV officially launched the brand new Digital Banking service Smart Banking on the basis of merging online transaction platforms and replacing Internet Banking and Mobile Banking services to August 2022, when a large number of BIDV's customers have registered to use Smart-banking service and have had objective feedbacks on the operation situation and experiences for more than one year since this service was launched. Research Questions Question 1: What are the features of BIDV's Smart banking service that the customers use? Question 2: What are the expectations of customers on the development of the service? Question 3: What recommendations should be made to develop BIDV's Smart banking service? 5. Methodology Ngo Phuong Dung — 11191154 — Business English 61B 5.
