Discover ING Bank
ING believes in a world where everyone has the right to grow and progress in their own way. We express this in our global tagline, "do your thing". Perhaps more than in any other large company, we extend our belief in the power of autonomy to our own people. But there's a catch. In return for great freedom, we expect people to do great things for our customers, our stakeholders, and ING at large.

We stay curious, thrive on change, and seek new and better ways to make it happen. Active in Romania for 30 years, ING Bank pioneered and challenged the local banking industry. Technology and innovation are at the core of what we do, making our products relevant for our customers' lives and businesses.
ING Bank Romania is the only bank with an organic growth within the top 10 local banks by assets, without acquisitions of client portfolios or other banks. ING Bank Romania is an universal bank with more than 1.8 million customers from three business segments: individuals (retail), SME and Mid-Corporate companies and Wholesale Banking.
