significant influence on consumers' purchasing decisions. In a trend towards the green
development of the economy and society, the role of communication is even more
crucial and evident. Building on previous studies, the author proposed that promotional
communications impact attitudes towards the intention to use green banking services.
Second, subjective norms are influenced by the factors of belief and motivation.
Social influence can enhance belief and motivation, leading customers to decide to
purchase products or services. Subjective norms are formed based on social factors such
as the importance of maintaining personal relationships, group dependence, and
community values. This is consistent with Bryson et al. (2016), who also pointed out
that the influence of the social community positively impacts customers' behavior
towards accepting and using green banking services.
6. Recommendations and limitations of the study
The study aims to extend the theoretical framework and provide empirical
evidence on the intention to use green banking services, based on data from individual
customers who frequently consume in Hanoi. The findings highlight the significant roles
of "Attitude" and "Subjective Norms" in influencing the intention to use green banking
services, enhancing consumer benefits for green and sustainable products. Additionally,

equation modeling analysis. Therefore, the author proposes several recommendations
for managers and policymakers to promote the acceptance and usage of green banking
services now and in the future.

these services on their spending, saving, and investment activities.
Developing green products and services: Banks need to continuously develop
and improve green products and services, as well as create new products that meet
societal needs and guide consumers towards environmental protection and sustainable
consumption.
Encouraging positive attitudes: Banks can further promote special programs,
free service usage, or provide special incentives for customers using green banking
products and services. Encouraging all bank staff to use and experience the services first

Promoting green credit: Close cooperation between the government, financial
institutions, and consumers is crucial. The government plays an important role in
