Credit card sales accounted for a small proportion of total loans but tended to increase in the period 2010-2012. Looking at Table 2.4, we can see that in 2010, credit card sales accounted for 16.46% of loan sales, in 2011 this figure was 17.21% and in 2012 it was 19.99%. In recent years, when business lending activities are not very positive, branches have begun to focus on lending to individual customers, especially in consumer lending. The branch has grasped the increasing consumer demand of customers, launched development policies in this lending field, such as improving and designing many new products and services, expanding the area. operates and offers attractive consumer loan interest rates and many incentives.It is these factors that have helped credit card activities account for an increasing proportion and achieve positive growth results.

CVTD sales have grown steadily over the years. In 2011, sales reached 303.42 billion VND, an increase of 143.04 billion VND, equivalent to 89.02% compared to 2010. In 2012, sales increased to 247.95 billion VND compared to 2011, respectively. increased by 81.71%.

The increase in sales of consumer loans is also partly due to the increasing prestige of the Branch, attracting a number of new individual customers, along with promotional activities associated with products with special offers. big for customers. While the interest rates on credit cards of other banks in the market are still quite high, the branch has offered interest rates of only 16.5-17.5%/year for each type of credit card product,In addition, there are incentives for loyal customers and customers with good credit relationship with the Branch.

With the goal of becoming the leading retail bank today, Sacombank in general and Sacombank - Hanoi in particular need to try harder to maintain, develop and improve the relationship between customers, especially are individual customers with high consumption demand; as well as upgrading and expanding consumer loan products and services to maximize benefits for customers. However, because consumer loans are often high-risk, the Branch still needs to build a credit process, together with checking and monitoring debts, and setting up full risk provisions to achieve the best effect in the future. consumer lending.

2.4.2. Consumer loan balance

Total outstanding loans is an indicator that reflects the amount of money banks provide to the economy at a time. Combined with loan sales, loan balance reflects the bank's performance. The larger the loan balance, the faster the growth rate of the outstanding balance, proving that the bank has a reputation and diversified and rich customer service. But a high total loan balance does not mean good lending performance because besides those loans are credit risks that banks will encounter.

In 2010, credit card outstanding loans reached 117.45 billion VND; in 2011 this figure was 205.67 billion dong, an increase of 88.22 billion dong, corresponding to a growth rate of 75.11% compared to 2010.

In 2010, outstanding loans reached 31.23 billion VND;In 2011, short-term credit balance increased by 84.72% compared to 2010 to reach VND 57.69 billion.

Structure by loan type Consumer loans in VND accounted for a large proportion of total outstanding loans, but tended to decrease slightly in the period 2010-2012. In 2010, the proportion of outstanding loans in VND was 95.45%, in 2011 the proportion decreased to 93.61% and in 2012 it was only 90.55% of the total outstanding loans. Realizing that the bank's main source of mobilized capital is from local currency and the majority of customers are domestic residents, the loans are mainly for domestic consumption. That explains why credit cards in local currency account for a large proportion of total outstanding loans. However, the proportion of loans in local currency has tended to decrease in recent years because the Branch has begun to pay more attention to consumer loans in foreign currencies, while international trade and diplomacy activities development, customers borrow foreign currency to meet the purpose of studying abroad,Labor export or business with foreign partners… increased. This also explains the growth of the branch's foreign currency loan balance. In 2010, consumer loans in foreign currencies reached 5.35 billion VND; in 2011 increased to 13.14 billion VND, corresponding to an increase of 145.60% compared to 2010; 2012 increased to 32.88 billion VND, equivalent to an increase of 150.22% compared to 2012.

Structure by special assets From Table 2.5, we can see that credit portfolios with special assets account for a large proportion compared to loans without special assets. However, from 2010 to 2012, the proportion of loans with special assets is gradually shrinking and the proportion of loans without special assets is expanding. Specifically, in 2010, outstanding loans for consumer loans with special assets were VND 100.58 billion, accounting for 85.63% of total outstanding loans, in 2011 reaching VND 172.58 billion, accounting for 83.91% and in 2012 it was VND 172.58 billion, accounting for 83.91%. 287.73 billion dong, accounting for 80.11%. Loans without special assets for the three years 2010, 2011 and 2012 respectively were 17.04 billion dong, accounting for 14.37%, 33.09 billion dong, accounting for 16.09% and 69.20 billion dong, accounting for 19. 89%. This is explained by the fact that lending without special assets is being implemented by the Branch to attract more customers. Although the proportion of outstanding loans with special assets decreased in proportion, in absolute terms, the balance of credit loans with special assets was increasing.In 2011, outstanding loans with special assets increased by 72 billion VND, equivalent to 71.58% compared to 2010, in 2012 increased by 107.65 billion VND, equivalent to 72.74% compared to 2011. When credit card sales increased over 80% Every year, with the growth rate of outstanding loans of credit institutions with special assets as above, we can see that most consumer loans of customers are strictly guaranteed, this is a good sign proving the safety in operations. branch's consumer loans. In addition, outstanding loans without special assets also increased sharply during this period. In 2011, outstanding loans without special assets increased by 16.06 billion VND, equivalent to 94.19% compared to 2010, in 2012 this figure was 36.11 billion VND, equivalent to 109.12%. The reason is that in loan appraisal, the branch has performed well and fully completed the procedures, only accepting customers with healthy finances.With full capacity and civil behavior to borrow capital, most customers access capital without special assets.

In addition, old customers also create a reputation with the bank, so they can get loans without special assets. The branch also deployed more credit card products without special assets such as unsecured loans, loans to employees and attracted more customers.
