ING Bank posts 2014 underlying net profit of EUR 3,424 million; Dividends reinstated with EUR 0.12 per ordinary share
“2014 was an important and successful year for ING,” said Ralph Hamers, CEO of ING Group. “We launched our ‘Think Forward’ strategy, repaid the Dutch State ahead of schedule and moved closer to completing our restructuring plan. We are proud to have solidified our repositioning as a leading European bank and pleased to see that both NN Group and Voya are thriving as standalone companies. Today, I am delighted to announce the reinstatement of dividend payments on ordinary shares with a proposed cash dividend of EUR 0.12 per share.”
