ING Group

The ING Group (Dutch: ING Groep N.V.) is a Dutch multinational banking and financial services corporation headquartered in Amsterdam. Its primary businesses are retail banking, direct banking, commercial banking, investment banking, wholesale banking, private banking, and asset management. With total assets of €1,316 billion (as of March 2026), it consistently ranks among the largest banks globally. The ING is the Dutch member of the Inter-Alpha Group of Banks, a co-operative consortium of 11 prominent European banks. ING Bank has been a member in the list of global systemically important banks since the list was created in 2011. It has been designated as a Significant Institution since the entry into force of European Banking Supervision in late 2014, and as a consequence is directly supervised by the European Central Bank. As of the first quarter of 2026, ING served 40.8 million customers across nine retail markets and a wider wholesale banking footprint. It is a component of the EURO STOXX 50 stock market index. As of December 2019, the long-term debt for the company is €150 billion. ING is an abbreviation of Internationale Nederlanden Groep (lit. 'International Netherlands Group'). The ING's logo alludes to the Dutch symbolism used by several of ING's corporate predecessors, including Postbank. Its original blue lion symbol was refreshed in 2000, and later replaced by the orange variant between 2007 and 2009.
