How ING was built: savings
13 August 2018
To empower has always been our goal. But how have we done that through the decades?
By helping people to stay a step ahead in life and in business, especially when they have encountered setbacks. And over the years there have been many – major financial crises, when unemployment among young people skyrocketed or when real estate collapsed in the 1980s. Not to mention coping with social changes like the fall of the Berlin Wall or Europe’s recovery from the Second World War.
Discover ING’s history through a series of seven videos that traces our heritage back to the 18th century. This is part-one.
Savings
Millions of savers around the world entrust their money to us. Just like 17-year-old Margaretha did over a century ago when she first deposited her savings with our predecessor Rijkspostspaarbank, marking the start of financial independence.
