Additionally, through its ING Investment Management business, the group offers asset management services including mutual funds, pension funds, and bespoke investment portfolios, catering to both retail and institutional investors.
With a presence in over 40 countries and a strong foothold in core markets such as the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Spain, Italy, and Australia, ING continues to expand its digital offerings in markets like the United Kingdom, Poland, Turkey, and the United States.
