including banks and it is even more critical in case of the banks face poor customer database management, lack of sufficient infrastructure and technologies to improve customer experience (Amoako, 2012) By providing high-performance in customer service, the banks are able to achieve and to enhance customer satisfaction since the customer expectation is well-fulfilled (Sakwa & Oloko, 2014) Customer service is important context in banking and finance industry Modern and large banks today have millions of customers and they have to interact with different customers‟ requests and queries every day Understanding the importance of customer service, many banks in Vietnam have initiated their customer service process such as the establishment of call center with hotline services so that the customers are able to call and to meet the h banks‟ staffs for a particular problem Behind of that, the banks in Vietnam also creates communication portals such as through email, social networking services (e.g Facebook) in order to create a quick connection with their customers Few banks such as Viet A Bank has adopted new technology to create a chatbot based on artificial intelligence and machine learning to provide the interest rate, exchange rate, product features, and banking service fees to the customers 1.2 Rationales Customer service quality is important context in service area Given to the fact that, the commercial banks are providing services to the clients such as deposit services, lending services, payment services, customer service quality must be taken into account The

customers Live Bank services which are offered by TPBank are innovative banking services in Vietnam It is described like a small bank‟s branch but without the employees Instead of that, the bank relies on the new technologies to further improve customer experience and customer self-services Moreover, the customers who transact through TPBank‟s Live Bank are not able to complete banking transaction in 24 hours and it is not limited by normal working times A competitive advantage of TPBank‟s Live Bank is that it allows the customers to open new ATM card, current accounts immediately through the computer screen The customers are able to receive new physical ATM card after inputting all required information Currently, TPBank‟s Live Bank has million customers and it is continuously increasing in coming years Beside of that, the customers need to conduct the services by themselves In this context, customer service is important The bank needs to provide adequate customer service performance to assist the customers h and therefore leveraging positive customer experience After more than years of doing business, TPBank does not develop any assessment of customer service performance and quality for Live Bank Behind of that, Vietnamese banking system consists of 31 commercial banks and the competition is happened not only in the area of competitive interest rate but also those who are able to deliver excellent customer service quality to the customers The banks with low customer service quality receives adverse impacts such as lowered customer satisfaction and loosing current customer base Customer service is considered as important component in any business model and it gains increasing attention from the banks TPBank has been positioning its business and services based on the understanding of the customers‟ needs as well as building a strong portfolio that meets various demands from the customers In this context, the bank understands the importance of collecting information related to the customer satisfaction on the bank‟s services in general and in Live Bank services as particular, contributing to the enhancement of the banks‟ overall service performance and service quality to the customers It is denoted that the nature of the customer service is about the customers‟ feeling and perception of the service performance Different customers may have different feeling and perception and therefore they have different assessment of customer service Customer service is the way that the organizations to meet the customers‟ needs and demands and the higher the customer satisfaction, the better the customer service In this context, the customer assessment of customer service is subjective matter and different services may have different customers‟ expectation of the service performance 1.3 Research objectives and research questions Main objective of the study is to enhance customer service at TPBank‟s Live Bank This research

factors represented for total service quality, including tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy The combination of these factors results the overall performance of customer service quality Other researchers can utilise the research results to make relevant discussions of their owned findings Along with the development of the society, there are more and more enterprises to be established To survive and to develop, the enterprises today need to identify the proper way to retain their customers It is denoted that the customers select and purchase a product and service from a company based on their own rationales and their choice is influenced by other competitors who have similar products and services Under this circumstance, the enterprises are h hard to control the customers mindset but they attempt to retain their customers throughout better customer service quality or how the customers‟ requests are handled Thus, the enterprises must ensure that their customers must be treated superiorly and their services must be a touchpoint to generate the customers‟ satisfaction and happiness In fact, the marketing theory points out the importance of four traditional marking mix factors, including product, price, place, promotion However, the information transparency and the development of the Internet makes the enterprises to access required information, leading to the fact that the marketing programmes are very similar Therefore, the enterprises who want to compete better with other competitors need to leverage the strength from their human resources that address the importance of people With high customer service brought by the enterprises‟ employees, it can bring uniqueness to them and create a competitive advantage against other competitors in the market In the case study of TPBank, this context is so-called 10 REFERENCES Adjei, N D (2016) Effects of service quality delivery on customer satisfaction in the banking sector: A
