Dear Client,
Re: First publication of Vietnam Consumer Customer Survey Report, 2015
StoxPlus has been issuing the annually updated Vietnam Consumer Finance (“CF”) Report in the last three years, providing the first and most comprehensive report on this sector. Taking into account feedbacks from our clients, in addition to the comprehensive analysis of the market itself, we conducted our first CF customer survey this year to better assess the experience and satisfaction of finance companies’ customers.
The research, conducted 500 respondents in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh, and Da Nang, who already used CF services within the last 2 years, were chosen to answer the 17 questions about consumer finance service providing by finance companies (selected list including: HD Saison, Home Credit, FE Credit, ACS Trading, Prudential Finance, JACCS, Toyota Finance, MobiVi, and Others).
500 other respondents who intended to use consumer finance service in the future were surveyed to answer questions on their future demand.
As part of the research, we have conducted various field trips as well as discussions and interviews with industry players at management levels to grasp local insights of how fertilizers are distributed in Vietnam. For the product survey, we have conducted mystery shopping at selected points of sale of finance companies and commercial banks. We get financial data of key players and consumer loans from our strategic partner, National Financial Supervision Commission (“NFSC”).
We understand that this is a targeted but also an open research. We would be happy to provide any further information to address any questions that you may have, for any specific sector or target business in Vietnam. Our ultimate objective is to bring real values to our clients via in-depth research and practical local insights.
Should you have any questions, please contact I myself or our Research Manager, Ms. Lan Nguyen at ++84-4-35626962 (ext. 109) or her email: [email protected]
Yours sincerely,

There are 4 types of key players providing consumer finance market with different business models

Section 1: Vietnam Consumer Finance MarketCompetition Dynamics
There are 4 types of players providing consumer finance services: local banks, foreign banks, finance companies, and others (ACS and MobiVi).
Local commercial banks – Traditional and most trusted methods of lending
• Domestic commercial banks in Vietnam includes State-owned commercial banks (SOCBs) and joint stock commercial banks (JSCBs). It is the most traditional way that customers used to get in order to find the financial source. However, the main issue of commercial banks has risen since its complicated application process and long appraisal time. As such, it has created the stereotype inside the customer perception for long time.
• Local commercial banks still focus on traditional retail banking business. Most JSCBs increased their consumer loans quickly in 2014. However, even though these banks provide loans for consumers to purchase goods and services, they still require collaterals (e.g. a valued asset, or a savings account with the bank). This is different from a pure CF model that is simple and convenient, and does not require any collaterals for the loans.
Foreign commercial banks – Upper high class customers
• Foreign banks, unlikely to others, focuses on the upper class clients who owns a bank account. Besides, in order to tap on the consumer finance market, foreign banks has concentrated on the credit card issuance. It may appear that larger amount of loan will accompany strict credit appraisal. Customers must open an account in banks and information have to fulfill in order to valuate the financial ability or granted financial source.
• Along with the main products, which is credit card offered, foreign banks aim to high credit rating customer, providing the high level of customer service. As such, they operate in small-scale of products and customers with unique promotions come along.
Finance Companies – Quick & East could win the market
• Unlike the above financial institutions, finance companies taps on the market of smaller amount of loan, middle-low income customers. Providing them with quick and easy application process, finance companies charge higher interest in return.
• Finance companies, are the only type that follow the pure consumer finance activities that could consider. With diversified-product strategy, finance companies offer wide range of products, from cash loan, consumer durable goods, electronic devices or motorbike, it is expected to serve individuals who are mostly under-banked or unbanked, and are usually considered for credit supporting.
MobiVi – Advance technology could bring convenience
• The new trend of e-wallet has become phenomenon in Vietnam recently. In retrospect, several e-payment providers has launched its product to public, however, it has targeted on payment method only. MobiVi, on the other hand, by partnership with several banks, provides the micro credit to its customers.
• With the benefits of advance technology in online payment along with the expertise in financial services, MobiVi offers to Corporate Package launched in 2013 and Agent Package launched 2012. MobiViis dedicated to providing access to financial source to Vietnam low-income class, especially for industrial zone workers.

Section 2: Survey at a glanceMethodology
Sample Size• 500 consumer finance users within 2
years (consumer good instalment and cash loan)
• 500 intended users in the near future
• Location: Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang
Respondents• Male & Female
• Age: 18-60
• Have used consumer finance services from finance companies (selected list)
Methodology• Snowball Sampling
• Interview face to face
• Questions with showcards
Description• 500 respondents who already used CF services within the last 2 years were chosen to answer the 17 questions about consumer finance service
providing by finance companies (selected list including: HD Saison, Home Credit, FE Credit, ACS Trading, Prudential Finance, JACCS, Toyota Finance, MobiVi, and Others).
• 500 other respondents who intended to use consumer finance service in the future were surveyed to answer questions on their future demand.
• Due to difficulty in sampling consumer finance users, we selected snowball sampling methodology as respondents have been previously identified and difficult to locate or contact. As such, using this approach, few potential respondents were contacted, then asked whether they know of anybody whose used consumer finance service before or have intention to use in the future.
Biases• Foremost, snowball sampling does not produce a random sample because of the potential biases present during the process. In the beginning, the
bias may be introduced as the recommendations were based on convenience and the circle of relationships is limited. For example, the majority of sample size are female, or urban area accounted for more than 80&. These characteristics may be influenced as recommended participants have similar range of characteristics, for instance, same age, similar jobs, etc.
• Due to the limited number of respondents, this report will only analyse the top five finance companies with the most number of users amongst this sample size. The top 5 include: ACS Trading, Home Credit, HD Saison, FE Credit, Prudential Finance.

Section 5: Statistical TestingMethodology & Summary of Findings
Selected Methodologies• We use inferential statistics because it allows us to measure behavior in samples to learn more about the behavior in populations that are often
too large or inaccessible. We use samples because we know how they are related to populations.
• In behavioral research, we select samples to learn more about populations of interest to us. In terms of the mean, we measure a sample mean to learn more about the mean in a population. Therefore, we will use the sample mean to describe the population mean. We begin by stating the value of a population mean, and then we select a sample and measure the mean in that sample. On average, the value of the sample mean will equal the population mean. The larger the difference or discrepancy between the sample mean and population mean, the less likely it is that we could have selected that sample mean, if the value of the population mean is correct. This type of experimental situation, using the example of standardized exam scores
Description• Confidence Interval: The purpose of taking a random sample from a lot or population and computing a statistic, such as the mean from the data,
is to approximate the mean of the population. How well the sample statistic estimates the underlying population value is always an issue. A confidence interval addresses this issue because it provides a range of values which is likely to contain the population parameter of interest.
• Hypothesis Testing: Hypothesis testing refers to the process of choosing between competing hypotheses about a probability distribution, based on observed data from the distribution. It is a core topic in mathematical statistics, and indeed is a fundamental part of the language of statistics. In this chapter, we study the basics of hypothesis testing, and explore hypothesis tests in some of the most important parametric models: the normal model and the Bernoulli model.
Biases• In the normal course of events, population standard deviations are not known, and must be estimated from the data. Confidence intervals, given
the same confidence level, are by necessity wider if the standard deviation is estimated from limited data because of the uncertainty in this estimate.
• Due to the limited number of respondents, this report will only analyse the top for finance companies with the most number of users amongst this sample size. The top 5 include: ACS Trading, Home Credit, HD Saison, and FE Credit.
Confidence interval is selected to test statistical significance of the sample size

Section 6: Demand of Future CF Users Methodology
Sample Size• 500 consumer finance users within 2
years (consumer good instalment and cash loan)
• 500 intended users in the near future
• Location: Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang
Respondents• Male & Female
• Age: 18-60
• Have used consumer finance services from finance companies (selected list)
Methodology• Snowball Sampling
• Interview face to face
• Questions with showcards
Description• 500 respondents who already used CF services within the last 2 years were chosen to answer the 17 questions about consumer finance
service providing by finance companies (selected list including: HD Saison, Home Credit, FE Credit, ACS Trading, Prudential Finance, JACCS, Toyota Finance, MobiVi, and Others).
• 500 other respondents who intended to use consumer finance service in the future were surveyed to answer questions on their future demand.
• Due to difficulty in sampling consumer finance users, we selected snowball sampling methodology as respondents have been previously identified and difficult to locate or contact. As such, using this approach, few potential respondents were contacted, then asked whether they know of anybody whose used consumer finance service before or have intention to use in the future.
Biases• Foremost, snowball sampling does not produce a random sample because of the potential biases present during the process. In the
beginning, the bias may be introduced as the recommendations were based on convenience and the circle of relationships is limited. For example, the majority of sample size are female, or urban area accounted for more than 80&. These characteristics may be influenced as recommended participants have similar range of characteristics, for instance, same age, similar jobs, etc.
• Due to the limited number of respondents, this report will only analyse the top five finance companies with the most number of users amongst this sample size. The top 5 include: ACS Trading, Home Credit, HD Saison, FE Credit, Prudential Finance.

Despite Vietnamese intended users still consider interest rate issue as the most important factor that would affect the decision of using consumer finance service, unlike used customers, appraisal time and time of disbursement is more important than procedure or contract’s terms
