Discover ING Hubs

We started out in 2015 as ING’s software development hub – a distinct entity from ING Bank Romania – then steadily expanded our range to include more services and competencies.

With the help of 1600 engineers, risk and operations professionals, we offer 150 services in tech, non-financial risk & compliance, audit and retail operations to 24 ING units worldwide.

Our tech capabilities remain the core of our business, with more than 1100 colleagues active in Data Management, TouchPoint Channels & Integration and Core Banking.

We enjoy a flexible way of working and a highly collaborative environment, where fair and constructive feedback is encouraged. Work ethics, honesty and knowledge sharing are key to our teams and we’re always looking for like-minded people.

The Mission

To become a mature service provider as PSS and with that be able to support volume growth (country onboarding)  a number of Assisted Channel Business services need to be provided.

2.2 billion transactions (SEPA, Instant Payments, international payments, direct debits, etc.) are processed per year using our  central PSS platforms. Assisted Channels Business Services closes the gaps between the STP (straight through processing) way of working within these platforms and the operational requirement from our customers.
