Firstly, the transaction attire of SCB is currently not synchronized. The current uniform is the uniform of all three banks before the consolidation and the uniform is too old.
This makes customers feel that the bank’s transaction activities are unprofessional, unattractive and confusing for customers when transacting. In the coming time, SCB should soon have a uniform uniform throughout the system to enhance customers’ perception of the bank’s professionalism as well as create a distinctive and differentiating feature from other banks for customers to recognize. SCB, do not confuse SCB with some other banks.
Secondly, upgrading facilities, repairing old degraded transaction places to create eye-catching, clean, cool, professional and polite appearance. Carrying out the relocation of transaction locations in unfavorable locations, obstructed vision, transaction points too close to each other, causing internal competition, overlapping in marketing and attracting customers.
Third, due to the merger of three banks, the facades promoting the brand of the transaction places are not uniform in style and color, so there is a need for a change in the external design of the bank and the bank. Synchronize the facade at transaction points to help customers easily identify SCB’s brand (logo, sign, nameplate, placard, …) because nowadays customers often confuse SCB with Sacombank and Saigonbank.
Conclusion of chapter 3
Chapter 3 presents the development orientation as well as the operation content and the orientation to improve the service quality of SCB.

Accordingly, SCB should focus on improving five service quality components according to the level of impact from high to low: Empathy, Responsiveness, Tangibles, Reliability and Service Capacity. Thereby creating loyalty, attachment and long-term attachment of customers, contributing to improving the competitiveness, position and brand of SCB; increase market share, revenue, profit and operational efficiency towards the goal of stable and sustainable development in the future.
CONCLUDE
This study presented the theoretical basis for service quality as well as customer satisfaction. From the theoretical basis, it is shown that service quality is decisive and directly affects customer satisfaction. The study also states some service quality measurement models and some previous studies on service quality components in the banking sector. From there, choosing SERVPERF model is a suitable model to survey and analyze the relationship between service quality and customer satisfaction for Saigon Commercial Joint Stock Bank after the consolidation. This relationship was surveyed with 234 customers transacting at SCB in Ho Chi Minh City. Research results show that SCB’s service quality scale consists of five components Reliability, Responsiveness, Service Capacity, Empathy and Tangible Means with 28 variables retained after removing 6 variables. According to the research results, the above five components are positively correlated with customer satisfaction. Based on the research results and the current situation of SCB’s products and services analyzed in Chapter 2, a number of recommendations for the Government, the State Bank and solutions for SCB to improve the quality of SCB’s services have been made. given.
Research results show that Empathy has the strongest impact, followed by Tangible Means, Reliability, and finally Service Capacity. In the short term, SCB needs to focus on these components according to their level of impact. However, because the survey was only conducted in Ho Chi Minh City with a limited sample size, the research results are not representative of the entire SCB system, plus the characteristics of banking products and services are very different. easy to be copied, banks will have similar products and services, so in order to develop service quality in a long-term and sustainable direction, SCB needs to pay special attention to service capacity – this is the key the main distinguishing factor and difference between SCB and other banks.
Limitations and follow-up studies
This study has some limitations. First, the survey sample is not representative because it has only been surveyed in Ho Chi Minh City with a sample size of 234. The ability to generalize the results of the study will be higher if it is conducted with a large scale. large scale in other cities in the country and expand the survey sample size to get more accurate and objective results. This is a direction for further research. Second, the study only considers the impact of service quality on customer satisfaction. There can be many other factors contributing to the explanation of customer satisfaction such as technical quality, functional quality, corporate image, bank marketing, etc. This issue provides a direction. more for further research. In addition, conducting customer loyalty research for SCB is also another direction for further research.
