of VND 762 trillion (USD 36 billion), a broad operating network of 2,252 branches and transaction offices across the country (covering 63 provinces and cities) and nearly 40,000 staff AgriBank’s

affirms its prestige day after day through a diversity of areas: Wholesale banking, retail Banking & network, Treasury, Risk management, finance and Accounting, Operations and Business Supports For more logical and clearer view on AgriBank’s organization structure: BOARD OF DIRECTORS SUPERVISORYB OARD 10 SECRETARIAT TO BOD RISK MANAGEMENT COMMITEE GENERAL DIRECTOR CHIEF ACCOUNTANT DEPUTY GENERAL DIRECTOR FUNCTIONAL DEPARTMENTS OPERATIONS CENTER TRANSACTION OFFICES TYPE I, TYPE II BRANCHES REPRESENTATIVE OFFICES ADMINISTRATIVE ENTITIES TYPE III BRANCHES TRANSACTION OFFICES Figure - The organization structure of AgriBank Source: AgriBank - Annual report 2012 SUBSIDIARIES BRANCHES 31 Staff attitude 0 82 14 100 Table - Customer satisfaction level toward bankcard services Source: Practical Survey From the survey results, we can see current customers satisfied with the services provided on the card, such as the service attitude of staff (82%); Machine quality (54%); card service (52%); Moreover interest (30%), service charges (26%) These indicators are highly appreciated by clients The reason is due to the Branch has a professional, dedicated human resources, they instructed attentive to customers; the quality of the machine has been relatively stable and functioning well Besides, the Branch has also completed many features such as: Top-up phone, goods payments, game recharge… to serve the needs of consumers better and better The next factor gained satisfaction of customers is the interest rate, the Bank often raise interest rates during holidays, for loyal customers there is preferential interest rates to compete with other banks as well as customer trust In addition, the Bank also exempts or reduces the service charge fees such as printing bills, free transactions charge at AgriBank ATM At the same time the Bank continues to develop additional services on card and further quality improvement of ATMs to achieve the highest level of satisfaction from customers Besides customers with high satisfaction levels with the above criteria, there is still an amount of customer in the opposite Customers dissatisfied about placement of machines accounted for 48%, while the interest rate equivalent to the charge service and quality is equal to 12% of the machine The reason that customers often not satisfied with the position of machine with a high rate because the Bank puts ATMs in center that cannot cover all geographical areas, so customers usually need to pay for travel to carry out transactions 2.6.2.3 Existing problems and difficulties Besides successes achieved, card products and services also had drawbacks Firstly, research target market was inefficient Researching market and finding out who is the potential customer play a strategic role in developing card products and services Whether the 32 branch should develop a new product or service, add value for customers, set a fee or price policy… all depend on the findings of target market study Various methods of market research are used to find out information about markets, target markets and their needs, competitors, market trends, customer satisfaction with products and services, etc Businesses can learn a great deal about customers, their needs, how to meet those needs and how the business is doing to meet those needs Businesses not need to be experts at methods of research either However, researching, collecting, and studying information of card services have not synchronized and collection activities have not carried out frequently Market research has just studied mainly at card centre by collecting information on websites, The State Bank of Vietnam, banking card association, press…As a result, at branches, researching market for card products and services coped with many difficulties Secondly, it is drawbacks of functions, utilities and quality of services Although total quantity of issued cards was quite high and continuously increased, quality of card products and services has limitation At the present time, domestic card is mainly used to withdraw cash at ATM; transactions for payments at EDC/POS are very few About the quality of services, errors in network, suspension service still occurred These errors affect negatively to prestige, trademark of AgriBank as well as branch Long waiting time withdrawal Damage, Error Card Retrieval Number of ticks/50 papers 15 26 22 % 30 52 44 Table - Problems when transactions at ATMs Source: Practical Survey The table above shows that damage, error can be seen as top difficulty when doing transactions at ATMs, accounted for 52% The reason is lack of frequent maintenance and repairment, due to financial difficulties of the bank Additionally, the processing system of the Bank overloads on rush hours, the old system has not been upgraded, the network service provider is not stable, often has line faulty leading to non-implementation error transactions or 33 transactions to be suspended The next inconvenient followed is machine often “swallow up” 44% card This shows the quality of the ATM is not really stable and maintenance work has not been fully implemented The next difficulty is to wait long as withdrawals accounted for 30% This is because there are too few machines, while many customers demand, or due to slow motion machine High demand of cash withdrawals also caused overloaded ATMs ATMs mostly located in the most central place, partly because people concentrate on the cash machine in the center or are not proficient in using ATMs that usually time consuming Some clients withdraw money up to several dozen million leads to people waiting in line Thirdly, the price and customer policy were still not flexible The branch follows the rules of AgiBank The bank has not had its specific strategy and program to calculate exactly fee for each type of card products and services Therefore, defining fee of services did not evaluate exactly core, effectiveness and quality of services and products Defining fee of services now still bases on the fee of other commercial banks in the market Fourthly, marketing activities were not inadequate Advertisement, promotion activities for products and services in general, and for card ones in particular have not done methodically in a long-term plan There were not many marketing activities and effectiveness of them was still not high Advertising leaflets, panels, images… were not diversified, distinct and have not attracted customers well In addition, current network of card products and services of the bank distributed basically at counters of branch Whereas some commercial banks began distributing their products and services by modern ways such as on Internet, by issuing agencies, in restaurants, and in shops, etc Last but not least, that is the degree of comprehension, knowledge, degree, and many skills of marketing staff Average age of marketing staff is quite young; this is a strong point of workforce On the other hand, it also has disadvantage Marketing staff is young; the branch was established for short time so sometimes operation lacks professional skills 34 So as to develop card operations of the branch, affirm a worth position and importance in the overall operation of a modern commercial bank in the 21st century, all above problems and difficulties must be addressed and overcome by AgriBank Lai Chau as well as AgriBank CHAPTER JOB PART 3.1 Internship objectives 3.1.1 Primary objective The primary objective of this report is to familiar with the working

AgriBank Lai Chau, I myself have learned a lot from the staff in the branch and accumulated valuable lessons that would be very useful for my work later These lessons are as follows: - I can work under pressure Someday I feels tired and stress because they have a lot of work to complete They need time management plan: prepare for the meeting tomorrow, updated data for the business report,

young staff of the branch organized a Tet even for the employees and their families 4.5 Further recommendations for improvement Renovation of customer service The bank should make its service prompt so that people need not give more time in the banking activities and fell easy to perform all respective activities Moreover they have to come up with new facilities and offer which will attract more client and help to ensure their premium as well as loyal customer forever Therefore, they have to ensure:  The working process more faster with better computers and operating systems  Trained, experienced, smart, knowledgeable as well as intellectual personnel to provide fastest and the best services  Individual attention can be given to customers in order to better understand the customer’s needs and better satisfy them (Cheques, deposit slips are not written properly by the customers so the employees have to that)  More ATM booth in merchant location  More Gifts, Discounts as well as differentiated interest rates on several loan  and deposit schemes for the Premium Customers Car parking lot Ensure proper division of labor and human power 39 The human resource departments of the bank have to ensure proper division of labor in desk for handling the rash of customer in an efficient way Therefore based on importance and work load they have to ensure proper division of labor Moreover by increasing the numbers of personnel try to maintain the premium banking objective Mainly the number of human resources is needed in Front Desk and in clearing section which really insufficient for giving services to huge number of customers Ensure proper compilations and maintenance of files Ensuring proper customer service is a continuous process in banking business Which is vital for it success The service starts from the first day of customer interaction with banker To understand customer, maintain interaction, conducting banking activities and for the security purposes the file maintenance of individual client is most important If one single paper is missing then it can create a big problem as well as hazard to both banker and their customer Therefore both branch management and all personnel should more conscious about the proper compilations as well as decoration for keeping important files Ensure availability of machineries Every department should ensure the availability and proper maintenance of necessary machines like photocopy and printing machines Ensure employee satisfaction Management of the bank has to provide time to time recognition of their employee Moreover short probationary period and on time promotion motivated the employee to perform well in their day to day activities But the most important thing is the overall motivational activities should be proceeding under fair judgment based on performance rather internal politics In addition through assurance of proper division of labor, incentive for over duty and mandatory leave help to overcome huge working load and enjoy a sound as well as healthy life Besides good relationship amongst employee and sound working environment also help the employee to be satisfied with their job 40 Ensure proper promotional activities They must prepare an organized set of plan regarding the advertising and promotional activities which should include billboards, internet advertising and sponsorship The sales team and officers should provide periodic training on interacting and dealing with different classes of potential and existing customers Ensure effective computer literacy As the bank is now mostly depends on computer therefore to increase the computer skills of employees, the bank should provide training Though they have knowledge about computer but it is not enough So bank should provide training to their employees to make them efficient in computer Ensure of proper decoration and expanded office area The branch authorization should have to be more conscious and innovative in their interior decoration to attract client from all ages As Lai Chau area is the developing area, the rush of client is the common scenario of this branch so the space should be extended for conducting and performing sound banking activities, service as well CONCLUSION Bankcard is a modern, convenient payment method and become more and more popular in Vietnam as well as all over the world Bankcards directly push “Non-cash payment scheme” of Government into operation It helps reduce cash pressure and it is a necessary tool to reach non-cash society Card operation increasingly develops and plays a more important role in bank business As a result, bankcard products and services are very important businesses of banks, contribute to revenue increasingly, and help to diversify banking products and services Vietnam card is a great potential market Joining bankcard market later than many other commercial banks, however, AgriBank takes advantages of a nationwide network, good prestige and reputation So over thirteen years of development of AgriBank card, AgriBank 41 now ranks the 2nd in the card market The time of operation is quite short, so AgriBank Lai Chau has coped with many difficulties and challenges However, by suitable business strategies, efforts of the branch, and support from AgriBank, we believe that AgriBank Lai Chau can get positive results to bring card products and services to more customers Card services will become one of the top services and also confirm AgriBank’s trademark and its position in Vietnam card’s market in the near future By analyzing, evaluating of actual state of card operation at AgriBank Lai Chau, the report suggests some opinions, solutions in contributing to improve and develop card operation at the branch However, the time is short and the scope of the report is very big, those suggestions may be insufficient I hope to receive ideas, comments from professors, teachers, readers, and friends to improve my report BIBLIOGRAPHY Vietnamese Đinh Bách Thanh toán không dùng tiền mặt chiếm 15% http://www6.vnmedia.vn/newsdetail.asp?newsid=189842&catid=25 Ngân hàng Nông nghiệp Phát triển
