more comparative in recent years Big state-owned banks such as Vietcombank, BIDV and Vietinbanks now have to compete t to ng with various private banks which are rising quickly All the banks attempt to retain hi loyal customers and increase their market share, so they have to pay attention on ep improving the quality of customer service It is not a stretch to say that customer w retention in the banking sector depends primarily on customer service Today’s n lo customers are more knowledgeable of their options So once they have chosen a bank, ad they expect a high level of customer service The importance of customer retention in y th ju banks depends on these institutions stepping up to the plate and delivering on the yi quality of service that is expected pl ua al The purpose of this thesis is to explore the causes of poor customer service behavior problem at Joint Stock Commercial bank for Foreign Trade of Vietnam - Ho Chi Minh n n va City branch (Vietcombank HCMC branch) This problem is viewed through the oi m counters ll fu symptom of low customer’s satisfaction about service quality at Vietcombank nh The findings of the study reveals that the main cause of this problem is the lack of a at formal training program on customer service for all employees working at this field of z z the bank The findings are discussed in details in the research along with some vb ht recommendations for the company and management board to increase the level of jm individual customer service quality in order to improve customer satisfaction of k om l.c gm Vietcombank HCMC branch n a Lu n va y te re Page | CHAPTER 1: PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION 1.1 Company Overview Joint Stock Commercial Bank for Foreign Trade of Vietnam (Vietcombank) was t to ng established on 01/04/1963 from the Foreign Exchange Bureau (of the State Bank of hi Vietnam) From 02/06/2008, Vietcombank successfully implemented the equitization ep plan through IPO w During more than 50 years of growth and development, Vietcombank has contributed n lo significantly to the stability and growth of national economy, upholding the role of a ad major foreign trade bank in facilitating efficient domestic economic growth as well as y th ju influencing considerably on regional and global financial community yi Originated founded as a specialized bank for foreign trade, Vietcombank nowadays pl ua al has become a versatile bank that provides customers with a wide range of leading financial services in international trade, including traditional services such as capital n n va trading, capital mobilization, credit, project financing…etc., and modern banking ll fu segment such as forex trading and derivatives, card services, e-banking and so on oi m Vietcomabank Ho Chi Minh City Branch (VCB HCM) was established in 1976 After nh more than 40 years of growth and development, VCB HCM has now become the at largest branch in VCB system which contributes more than 30% of total profit before z z tax of Vietcombank in recent years Total asset of VCB HCM at 31/12/2016 was vb ht 102.808 billion VND, total deposit was 99.851 billion VND and total loan was 76.258 jm billion VND k gm Human

City Branch This part discusses the problem of low evaluation of individual customer service quality at Vietcombank’s service department Service department (or front office) of Vietcombank includes customer service t to ng departments and trade offices that serve customers directly at counter with most of the hi basic services of the banks, such as depositing, withdrawing or transfering money, etc ep Vietcombank HCMC branch has eleven trade offices and two customer service w departments which are front offices and serve both individual and organizational n lo customers directly through transaction counters Tellers working at these trade offices ad are the face of the bank, thus they should be prepared with high skills of customer y th ju service Service quality for individual and organizational customers are both yi important, but individual customer service is more essential to the bank since pl ua al Vietcombank wants to develop its market share in retail banking sector with the target to become “The Vietnamese number-one bank in retail banking sector” Besides that, n n va number of individual customers are much higher than organizational customers for a ll fu bank Therefore, a report by VCB showing increasing number of complaints of oi m individual customers in recent time (discussed in part 1.2.1) is a threat for this bank’s nh development Thus, this thesis wil focus on analyzing service quality for individual at customers only, instead of both individual and organizational customers, through two z z main symtoms mentioned in this part as following: Increasing customer complaints ht vb and low customer evaluation compaired to competitors gm counters k jm 1.2.1 Individual customers’ complaints about VCB customer service at the l.c In recent years, Vietcombank has focused on developing its market share in retail om banking sector with the target to become “The Vietnamese first ranked bank in retail a Lu banking sector” However, Vietcombank often receives complaints about customer n service quality by individual customers who have experienced customer service at the n va bank’s transaction counters Being the largest branch of Vietcombank, HCMC branch Department in monthly Customer Service Report, which is sent to all employees by email, number of complaints about customer service quality at Vietcombank hotline Page | y According to figures provided by Vietcombank’s Retail Banking Product Management te re is also the branch that receives most complaints from customers has always accounted for more than 60% in recent months in 2017, in which HCMC branch often accounts for the highest percentage (about 20%) since its scale is much larger than others The below table shows the sectors of complaints and popular t to ng problems customers are not satisfied with after they experienced service at hi Vietcombank HCMC branch’s counters ep Table 1: Popular problems customers complain about w Vietcombank HCMC branch n Popular problems - Tellers take long time to get the transaction done - Tellers make errors during making the transactions - Low consulting quality - Tellers show bad attitude towards customers lo Sector of

Vietcombank nh employees oi m HCMC branch is about customer service, including bad service and attitude of at Not only receiving lots of complaints at hotline number, it is also recorded that z z Vietcombank are often complained about bad customer service by individual vb ht customers on social media Through a survey done in 2016 by BuzzMetrics - a local k jm research company in Vietnam, Vietcombank is one of the local commercial banks that gm received most complaints about customer service quality through discussions and l.c comments of customers on social networking sites like Facebook and forums, stated om by Kim1 Service quality of Vietcombank and other state-owned banks are always a Lu evaluated to be not as good as services at private banks such as Techcombank, n Sacombank, ACB and so on Especially, bad staffs’ attitude towards customers is the n va most serious problem of Vietcombank’s service quality when it accounts for 21% of y te re comments on social media1 Page | 1.2.2 Evaluation of Vietcombank’s customer service quality compared to its competitors in the banking industry Planning to enlarge the market share of individual customers, Vietcombank defines t to ng that customer service is one of the key factors that attract individual customers and hi keep them stay with the bank as royal customers Acknowledging that individual ep customers are not satisfied with service they provide, Vietcombank HCMC branch has w investigated this weakness by comparing customer service quality evaluated by n lo individual customers between Vietcombank and five other popular commercial banks ad including Vietinbank, BIDV, Sacombank, Techcombank and ACB This program was y th ju conducted in July 2017 for all 11 trade offices and Individual Customer Service yi Department of Vietcombank HCMC Branches in Vietnam and a number of transaction pl ua al counters of other five banks mentioned above A market research company was hired by Vietcombank to send their staffs playing as secret customers These secret n n va customers visited all the trade offices of Vietcombank HCMC and one trade office of ll fu each other five banks They played as normal customers and experienced the bank’s oi m customer service, and then give score to criterias which were listed in advance The 97 96.7 97.4 z 98 at nh overal evaluation score for the six banks are as

Firstly, some of the customers complained about om costumes of the tellers They said that sometimes staffs did not wear uniform in n this problem? a Lu working hours such as lack of scarf, tie or name tag What is your point of view for have not finished dressing up uniforms in correct manner like wearing tie or scarf or Page | 41 y when customers arrive sooner than the opening hour of the bank, some of the tellers te re seriously in working hours Maybe there are some occasions in the early morning, n va Vu Thi Van Ha: Well, I see that most of the time, Vietcombank staffs wear uniform put on the name tag However, that occasion rarely happens and most of the time their employees show up their neat appearance Cao Huu Thuy Linh: Customers also complained that the tables behind the counters t to ng are messy with documents and drinks on the table, which can make transaction hi documents get dirty if they are careless ep Vu Thi Van Ha: Yes, several times I saw the tellers put drinks on the counters I have w reminded them about that problem and now they not repeat it anymore From now n lo on, we would be more concern about the appearance of tellers and the office to be ad more professional in customers’ eyes y th ju Cao Huu Thuy Linh: Customers also have negative comments about the tellers’ yi attitude Most of them claimed that Vietcombank’s tellers are not friendly with pl ua al customers, some tellers at this office had unprofession behaviours to customers like irresponsibly feedback to customers’ complaints and unwillingness to solve n n va customers’ problem Do you think these claims are exact and how you feel about it? ll fu Vu Thi Van Ha: Yes, I admitted that tellers at Vietcombank are not as friendly and oi m polite as many other private banks I don’t know why but maybe other banks nh concentrate more in training employees about customer service attitude at Cao Huu Thuy Linh: Thank you for your sharing! Now I want to ask a question z z about privacy problem of Vietcombank A customer complained that after she opened vb ht a credit card here, she received many calls from sales men of real-estate companies jm Thus she thought that Vietcombank has leak out her personal information How you k gm respond to this information? l.c Vu Thi Van Ha: I assure that keeping customer’s information confidential is om compulsory at Vietcombank This bank has launched tight rules and regulations a Lu customer’s confidentiality and every staffs that break the rules would definitely n receive punishment Especially in my department, we told our employees a lots about va that, and we also have a strong technological privacy system so that the percentage of n y something misunderstanding te re information leaking out is very low In the case of this customer, I think there might be Cao Huu Thuy Linh: Well, I understand May I ask you a final question? Some customers also complained about system errors occurring at Vietcombank when they Page | 42 came to make transaction, which is referred to the inefficiency of the bank’s internal process According to you, what are possible reasons for this problem? Vu Thi Van Ha: It might because the technology system of Vietcombank is relatively t to ng old Vietcombank is one of the most long-standing bank in Vietnam, so its technology hi was developed before other banks Hence, nowadays this system is older than systems ep of banks which were founded later Vietcombank is now in the process of improving w this system, but it takes several years to complete This kind of errors is objective and I n lo think system errors like that are unavoidable for banks ad Cao Huu Thuy Linh: Thank you for the information you provide!

Many of them claimed that the tellers are not much n lo friendly and polite as staffs of other banks ad Phan Van Binh: I think one of the reason comes from Vietcombank’s structure of y th ju employees The ratio of old employees in Vietcombank is higher than other private yi banks At my department, over 25 staffs at my department are over the age of 45, pl ua al which is a relative high ratio These old officers often show bad attitude/behaviors towards customers more than the young generation, because they have that habit from n n va the past when state-owned banks dominated the market and they did not have to ll fu provide good service to retain customers oi m Cao Huu Thuy Linh: Thank you for you sharing!

Our office is quite old and cramped, so we sometimes hi place things in the office that makes it look messy and more narrow We have planned ep to change location to a newer and bigger office and it would be conducted soon w Cao Huu Thuy Linh: Customers also complained that the tellers were not polite to n lo customers and in addition, the counters were messy with too much documents and ad files, which reduce their professional look y th ju Le Vi: Each teller is aware of their appearance to be neat and polite About the yi problem of transaction counters, sometimes they place too many documents or files on pl ua al their table, behind the counter, it might because there are too much customers to serve that day and with the high work load, they not have enough time to organize their n n va stuffs correctly and tidily As a manager, I understand and not blame my employees ll fu for that However, the customers are right to feel bad about that problem, so I would oi m remind the staffs to attempt to be neat all the time nh Cao Huu Thuy Linh: Yes, I understand Last but not least, how you think about at customer’s complaint about the bank’s reliability in making transactions? A customer z z said that he went here to close account and withdraw money but due to system vb ht mistake, he received not enough money in his account and today your office contacted jm him to inform about that mistake Could you explain to me why this occasion k gm happened? a Lu Cao Huu Thuy Linh: Yes, that’s him om yesterday? l.c Le Vi: Ah, I remember this occasion Is that Mr Khoi, who came to our office n Le Vi: In this case, the money transferred in to the customer’s account after the va account is closed In a logical way, we think that the correct procedure is that after she n the transactions are done Therefore, there is a gap for mistake when the bank system Page | 45 y the fact is the bank system only truly closes the account at the end of the day after all te re closes her account, money cannot be transferred to that account anymore However, let the customer withdraw money and close account already but after that it still received money into that account on the same day Cao Huu Thuy Linh: Thank you a lot for your information! t to ng _ hi 3.2.3 In-depth Interview - Section ep  Interviewees: A staff (Ms Huyen) and a manager (Ms Ha) - who have been w interviewed in previous part They are working at Individual Customer Service n lo department ad y th  Objectives: After identifying main problem, which is poor CSB, based on ju alternative references, three depth interviews were conducted again with these three yi people in order to figure out main cause of the problem pl n ua In-depth interview 1: al  Transcripts: n va  Interviewer: Cao Huu Thuy Linh ll fu  Interviewees: Ms Vu Thi Huyen - Teller of Individual Customer Service nh  Time: 09:00, 04 October 2017 oi m Department of Vietcombank HCMC Branch at  Place: Individual Service Customer department, Vietcombank HCMC branch, 05 z z Me Linh Square, District 1, Ho Chi Minh city vb ht Cao Huu Thuy Linh: Hello Huyen!
