functions including Debt Capital Markets, Corporate Finance and
daily banking propositions |

Investing
in innovation and data analytics to deliver differentiating client
experience |
· |
Realigning organisation to further enhance client centricity |
ING Wholesale Banking today announced a number of
initiatives aimed at further enhancing client centricity,
addressing clients' daily challenges and their strategic needs. The
international network, currently spanning more than 40 countries
will be strengthened, as we put more resources into Asia and the
Americas. We are also investing in our advisory functions including
core banking services such as the Debt Capital Markets and
Corporate Finance franchises.
"ING Wholesale Banking is an important contributor
to the success of ING's Think Forward strategy," said Isabel
Fernandez, head of ING Wholesale Banking. "We've seen wholesale
lending assets grown by more than thirty percent over the past five
years and pre-tax results have grown by more than 70 percent. We
expect lending growth to continue, as we support our clients in
their business needs. But our key assets are our people and the
trust of our clients, which we need to earn every day. The measures
we are announcing today aim to make us even more relevant to our
clients and to earn the primary relationship in line with ING's
Think Forward strategy."
"We will enhance and further integrate our daily
banking service offering, which includes payments- and cash
management, working capital solutions, trade finance, overdrafts
and FX transactions. We will focus on providing clients uniform
services across our extensive network, offering relevant and proven
solutions through their preferred channel, while also moving to
open banking platforms. In support of these changes, we will roll
out the agile way of working across the product and client service
delivery departments."
"In order to better understand and anticipate our
clients' needs, we will increase our investments in data analytics
capabilities and enhanced data management. We will strengthen our
sector expertise and research coverage to put our knowledge to work
for our clients and help them stay ahead of competition. We will
reinforce our focus on Sustainable Finance initiatives, further
supporting our clients in becoming more sustainable."
"We will continue to prioritise innovation,
developing new services to improve the client experience and
reimagine what we do today. Recent examples include the use of
blockchain technology to disrupt areas like Trade and Commodity
Finance. At the same time we look at solutions that go beyond
banking. In line with the launch of our EUR 300 million fintech
fund, ING Ventures, we will expand our efforts to partner with and
invest in start-up or scale-up companies to benefit our
clients."
"In past years ING Wholesale Banking has grown
into a sector specialist in lending areas such as Metals and
Mining, Trade and Commodity Finance and Technology, Media and
Telecom. To help deliver a global, consistent client approach
across the Americas, Asia and Europe, ING Wholesale Banking will
move from the current, largely product-based orientation to a
stronger sector organisation while putting more emphasis on the
regions. To reflect these changes and the increased focus on
innovation, the regions, sector organisation and innovation
function will report directly into the Head of Wholesale
Banking."
The organisational changes are expected to come
into force in January 2018. The growth initiatives announced today
will lead to hires in selected areas. The measures and related
investments will be fully funded by increased revenues and cost
benefits that stem from these initiatives and from business
growth.
