and of modern society, cashless payment is the unavoidable path that we have to reach Nowadays, if you want to win in competition and become well-known in the market, you have to catch the new trend of technogy and apply it to your current business Agribank, with a wide network in Vietnam, is one of the largerst firm and also the largest taxpayment Its main customers are farmers in the rural areas Agribank has reached 2.330 branch and transaction offices located in all 64 province of Vietnam And it also develops impressively in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City But the technology does not match with the speed of social development and still seems quite weak compared with other banks Bad debt in Agribank is 49.563 billion Vietnam Dong, about 6.24 % of total debt (2016), which was mainly in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Western Provinces where we can not compete with other commercial banks With factual statistics about Vietnam economy it can be seen that profits from loan bear many risks On the other hand, revenue from service is just about 20% of our total benefit Developing service is the safer way to increase revenues and decrease risks in the business According to statitstics from the World Bank, Vietnam has the lowest cashless payment, only 4.9% (2017), so that it has many free places to gain the market share We should understand and apply it to our bussiness right now I choose the thesis ‗‘Some solution for developing cashless payment in Agribank Vietnam’’ because this problem is very important and necessary in banking business It also helps our bank to overcome difficulties when the benefit from loan is not good due to bad debt Exploiting in service is the right urgent way that our bank has to change to win the competition with other banks and may also contribute a right path to the development of our society Literature review The thesis of Dang Cong Hoan (2015), ‗‘Promoting cashless payment for residential areas in Vietnam‘‘, Hanoi Economic University - Hanoi National University The topic has assessed the current state of cashless payment service in the residential area of our country, clarifying the role of State policies in promoting and developing payment services In particular, the topic has evaluated the cashless payment to the economy and community according to the time series regression model with the following variables: the ratio of cashless payment/total cash; GDP per capita and total annual state budget, to perform correlative analysis However, this thesis just examines at the macro level in over all According to Bui Thi My Huyen‘s Master thesis: ‗‘completing the cashless payment activity through bank in Ho Chi Minh‘‘ from Ho Chi Minh Economics University (2011), by the scientific quote for cashless payment through banks in comparison with the reality, the subject goes into the argument for the need to promote cashless payments through banks In particular, the topic has addressed the lessons learned in cashless payment activities of some countries that can be applied in Vietnam and the results achieved in the implementation of cashless in Vietnam for the period from the year 2006 to 2010 From researching cashless payment activities in Ho Chi Minh City, the thesis has assessed the current situation, finding out the reasons for the inadequacies and ineffectiveness, and then orient and propose solutions to complete and improve cashless payment via banks in Ho Chi Minh City Agribank should also classify its customers and focus on Gen Y customers, providing E- Mobile Banking services on smart devices instead of Smart Phones Limitations The author wants to mention about time and resources completing the thesis, because the thesis is the result of her self-research, not a group of authors There are limitations of time and resource as well Data used in the thesis were collected from various sources and the author could not collect the latest data because banking is at a large scale, therefore, the collection of latest documents was not easy and it took lots of time Implications A recommendation for further study would be to broaden the research to other commercial banks in order to generalize the study A recommendation would be to conduct the study within a number of different banking systems in Vietnam Future studies should have a larger representative sample to increase the accuracy of the findings Recommendations for further studies would be to also use comparisons of different age groups in the society to determine reasoning behind various perceptions, to uncover the factors behind high usage of cashless payment methods or reasoning for low usage of cashless payment Recommendations to reduce the limitations faced with cashless transactions would be the implementation of higher security standards and a method of necessary identification when using specific cashless payment methods such as contactless The research identified that specific advantages perceived by the participants regarding physical cash were the direct links with precautionary spending An additional recommendation for future studies to find ways to reduce limitations faced with the preferred payment method 68 would be by conducting further research into the methods of financial planning and budgeting This would gain insight to the ways financial satisfaction could be reached through the use of cashless payment methods Further research should uncover ways in which precautionary spending could be achieved with the use of alternative payment methods than physical cash 69
