In recent years, many economic and politic events have marked the success of
Vietnam’s economy. In the integrating situation with many opportunities and
challenges, banks has shown its importance in developing economy, especially in
changing the market which is naturally considered as cash-based as in Vietnam.
Card service has become one of bank’s advantages and made up a noticeable
proportion of banks’ service income. Thus, from 2006-2009, there is an upward
trend in the number of banks (including small commercial banks) which have joint
card market in Vietnam. In 2009, this number increased twice as much as that of
2006. This indicates that card service is getting more and more important in the
development strategy of banks, especially when there are a lot of difficulties in
improving traditional products. Therefore, the competition between banks in card
market is getting harsher.
Being one of the five largest commercial banks in Vietnam, Bank for Investment
and Development of Vietnam (BIDV) has shown its leading role in many fields,
products and bank services. In addition to advantages of a wholesale bank, BIDV
also realizes opportunities and potential to develop in retail banking including card
service.
Making use of the advantages of the brand, BIDV has gradually approached
customers of this service and with great effort and study to improve the quality of
service, BIDV has formed its position in the 5 leading units in trading card field.
Trading card also brings BIDV high income in the total income of the banks.
However, with the unstable situation of card market, BIDV also faces a lot of
difficulties and challenges in competing with current and potential competitors in
market.
To contribute to the more development in trading card of BIDV as well as increase
the prestige and belief for customers when using card service, especially increase
competitive capacity of BIDV in exploiting the market which has a lot of potential
customers, the team has carried out the study: “The analysis of card business

1.1 Overview of card and card business at Commercial Banks
1.1.1 Overview of Card
Responding to strong economic growth and more complex and diversified methods
of goods exchange among different industries and different countries in the world,
bank’s currency units therefore is developed accordingly to meet Customer’s
demand of payment and depositing money. Besides, the world is currently enjoying
outstanding achievements of information technology. Information technology has
especially brought numerous advantages to banks in creating and improving their
modes of payment. It is undeniable that the creation and development of bank card
has become one modern an convenient instrument nowadays.
In 1949 one businessman whose name is Frank Mc Namara has invented the first
card called Dinners Club, which is the beginning of later card boom such as Amex
(American Express) created in 1958, Bank American;
Later in 1960 Visa card, or JCB in Japan in 1961, and Master Card in 1966 with
name Master Charge have been issued by International Card Association through its
members all over the world.
Although card has been in existence for a long time, functions and advantages of
various types of card of different banks are not the same. Therefore, one common
definition of bank card is not concluded.
Overall, bank card could be understood as follows: “Bank card is one non-cash
payment instrument issued by bank. It is issued to customer to pay for goods or
services provided, or to withdraw cash at automatic teller machines or agent banks
within deposit account balance or credit limit agreed between card issuing bank and
card holder. Card invoice is bill of debt by card holder to Merchant.”
1.1.2 The classification of card
1.1.2.1
Based on card issuer
The card issued by bank: the card is issued by bank to customers so that they can
use their accounts or the accounts granted by bank for making payment or using
banking services.
Strategic Management
10
The card issued by non-bank institutions: the card is issued by non-bank institutions
with the payment process and scope that is similar to the card issued by banks such
as Amex, JCB.
1.1.2.2
Credit limits
Gold Card: this type is issued to customers on demand of making the payment of
big amounts, particularly for businesspeople. This card type has various features.
The regulations of cash drawing and consignation limits are dependent on each
region as well as each country.
Standard Card: this is the most basic type and also the most common at present.
According to statistics, there are about 160 million people using standard cards
daily all over the world. The card limit depends on the regulation of each bank.
Normally, it is USD 1,000.
1.1.2.3
Card-making technology
Embossing card: the card is made on the embossment technique, accordingly, the
necessary information are embossed on the card. Thus, only a little information is
embossed and easily counterfeited, and currently, such card types are rarely used.
Magnetic stripe card: The card stores information basing on the magnetic stripe, and
just contains the fixed information not encrypted, thus its safety is poor and it is
easily counterfeited. Also, very little information is achieved on the card type.
“Smart card”: This type is equipped with the electronic chip to store information
and can reach up to 200 of the last transactions with the high safety and it is very
difficult to counterfeit thanks to the encryption.
1.1.2.4
Based on using scope
International card: The card is issued by domestic banks but used for making
payments inside and outside the territory or issued in foreign countries but used for
inland payment. For example, ANZ Card, HSBC card, etc. International card is paid
by strong foreign currencies.
Domestic card: The card is issued by domestic banks and used for domestic
payment in local currencies.
Strategic Management
11
1.1.2.5
Based on the nature of payment
Credit card: It is also called the delayed debit card, in which the cardholder is
entitled to use the card for making payments of goods and services and for drawing
cash in the credit limits approved by the issuing bank in accordance with the
contract.
Debit card: This card has direct relationship and has been associated with the
deposit account of card holder. This card type shall be immediately deducted from
the cardholder’s account upon the goods and services purchase; at the same time, it
shall be processed to the account of agencies accepting card. The debit card has two
types including online and offline.
Cash card: This card is used for drawing cash at ATM machines or banks. Based on
the specialized function of drawing, the amount of money in each time shall be
shortly deducted from the cardholder’s account.
1.1.2.6
Based on objects in charge of payment
Individual card: This card type is issued to individuals who have demand and
satisfy conditions to open card at banks. The cardholders are responsible for paying
expenditures via the card by their own money or they can request for issuing subcards.
Individual card authorized by a company: This card type is issued to individuals and
organizations. The company who undersigns for issuing cards authorizes an
individual to use and take the responsibility for payment of expenditures via the
card by company’s money sources..
1.1.3 Card business at commercial banks
1.1.3.1
Issue operation
Card issuance in banks is governed by applicable legal regulations of local country
and general conventions of international card association. Besides, rules and
decisions of bank’s board of directors will play an important role.
Bank’s card issuance includes process of management and implementation of card
issuance, utilization and debt collection from customer. These three processes play
Strategic Management
12
essential role and should be paid attention. Each of them is closely related to
customer service and bank’s risk management. Financial institutions and issuing
banks have to develop regulations on card utilization and debt collection, such as
minimum payment, date of statement printing, due date, fees and interest rate,
maximum credit limit and preferential policies.
There are different types of card issuance in banks. However, two most popular
types are new issuance and re-issuance.
While issuing card, banks obtain not only issuance fee from card holder but also
interchange fee from bank of settlement through international monetary association.
This is the basic profit of financial institutions and card issuing banks. With this
income, card issuing banks develop programs of interest exemption and other
incentives in order to enlarge the number of customer and increase revenue.
1.1.3.2
Card payment
Card payment is implemented when card holders trade and/or do business at
Merchants, Automatic Teller Machines ATM and/or agent banks. While card issuance
is carried out only by bank, almost all members on card market participate in card
payment.
Card holder use card to pay for goods and services or withdraw cash at Merchant or
agent bank.
Merchant or agent bank has to check card validity on receipt in terms of: expiry
date, embossed factors on card, logo, symbol of international card, card holder’s
signature. If this information is valid, Merchant will deliver goods or services to
Customer after processing card transaction. Merchants and agent banks will send
card invoice to Settlement bank.
Settlement bank will summarize all card transactions and transfer data to
international card association (for international card).
Payment procedure is conformed as below:
International card association records Credit to Settlement bank’s
account
Strategic Management
13
International card association is responsible for informing Debit to
Issuing bank
Settlement bank make payment to International card association
Issuing bank sends account statement to card holder
Card holder makes payment to Issuing bank or Issuing bank will record Debit to
card holder’s account if card holder has account at Issuing bank.
Card payment does not stop at recording Credit to Merchant as commitment. Profit
on card payment is large out of total business profit, so competition in this area is
harshly. Therefore, banks always have to implement suitable marketing programs
and good customer services as well as provide free additional services and
advantages to Merchants in order to enhance their competitive strengths.
1.2 Business strategy
1.2.1 Concepts
There have been many definitions of a business strategy, however, it should be
understood that the business strategy is one set of goals and policies decided by one
corporate with regard to the entrepreneur location method for improving its profit
and establishing economic values for owners and shareholders. The business
strategy enables us to answer two key questions in the corporate performance,
including: “Which markets should an entrepreneur take part in?” and “How is the
competitive strategy of an entrepreneur performed?” Thence, the strategy is
understood as “a series of complex activities to mobilize organizational resources
from an agency that helps obtaining a certain goal”.
1.2.2 Process of establishing business strategies
1.2.2.1 Vision of missions and values
In order to establish a development strategy for an entrepreneur, we need to clearly
identify the vision of that entrepreneur in future, and missions which the
entrepreneur must perform as well as which core values need directing towards. The
specific determination of above contents shall specify ambitions of the
entrepreneur. Besides, the statement made by the entrepreneur shall create a
Strategic Management
14
foundation for the whole works of development strategy planning, and represent
core values of the entrepreneur to determine regulations and principles under the
sustainable foundation for an agency.
1.2.2.2 Analysis of business environment
Macro-environment
Economic environment (economic growth, inflation, interest rate, exchange rate,
etc.)
Technology environment (application of new scientific technology, impacts of new
technology into business environment)
Social and cultural environment: Social and cultural values influence on political,
economic, law and demography environment and therefore, decide business
environment.
Demographic environment: Demography is not only an issue of one country but
also a global concern. Especially in the current context of economic integration,
enterprises should pay attention to this environment.
Political, legal environment: Enterprises should analyze, forecast business
regulations in relation to state management and applicable laws.
Global environment: Good analysis of global environment will help enterprises to
take proactive position in international economic integration.
Industry environment (M.Porter’s 5 competitive forces model)
Mentioned in theory of professor Michael E.Porter (Harvard Business
Management), industry environment analysis should focus on following contents:
analyzing current competitors, analyzing potential competitors, analyzing supplier,
analyzing customer, analyzing alternative products.
1.2.2.3 Analysis of internal environment
Determination of core internal factors
In fact, each entrepreneur cannot estimate all factors in its internal aspects due to
the large number of factors. Therefore, in order to estimate the internal situation of
an entrepreneur, it is necessary to determine core internal factors and major factors.
Strategic Management
15
The aspects which we can review and estimate the internal environment include:
Finance, administration, development research, marketing, information system,
technology, and risk management.
Performance of internal estimation
Regarding target, the assessment of internal environment is to find out strengths and
weaknesses in the entrepreneur’s internal environment and thence, it is possible to
provide necessary solutions. Internal factors which need to be estimated include:
Management, marketing, financial accounting, production and task, technology, and
information system.
1.2.2.4 SWOT Analysis
After analyzing factors of macro-environment and business environment, the
entrepreneur should clearly determine opportunities and threats from external
environment as well as strengths and weaknesses in the entrepreneur’s internal
environment to formulate bases for considering and establishing orientations and
strategic plans. One of the most common techniques is the SWOT matrix-based
analysis.
The steps:
Step 1: The analysis of internal business environment, strengths and weaknesses,
building evaluation matrix Internal environment (IFE).

1.2.4 Organization of business strategies performance (the functional strategy
execution
To organize the implementation of business strategy, enterprises need to build
functional strategies including human resource strategy, financial strategy,
management strategy, technology strategy, risk management strategy, motivative
development strategy, marketing strategy.
1.2.5 Estimation of business strategies
Once establishing a business strategy, entrepreneurs also have to acknowledge that
they sometimes need to make strategic adjustments if necessary. Amendments
which are massively widespread should be avoided, but it is also required to
consider the necessity to adjust in mandatory situations. Also, the estimation of
strategy performance is a good opportunity for reviewing strategies of an
entrepreneur. Under many circumstances, although one established strategy which
seems to be completely logical and reasonable, it cannot be performed efficiently
just due to some certain reasons such as lack of resource or unsuitable resource or
poor information system, etc. While organizing implementation, the entrepreneur
Strategic Management
18
needs to test and review specifically as well as to have reasonable intervention or
correction.
However,
modifications
should
be
performed
after
having
comprehensive estimations and careful considerations as well as seeing that the new
strategy can bring more benefits than the current strategy by far.
