ING Wholesale Banking in Italy
Our operations are located in Milan, the heart of Italy’s financial district. Our presence in the country dates back to 1979 and today our team is represented by more than 100 professionals in Front Office and Support Functions. Our purpose is to empower people to stay a step ahead in life and in business. With our sector expertise, our global network, focus on Italian excellence and our leadership in sustainability, we want to become a point of reference in Wholesale Banking among the international banks in Italy. Creating a differentiating experience starts with ING’s culture: entrepreneurial, open, collaborative, innovative and energetic. Our values are the non-negotiable promises we make to ourselves, partners and clients: we are honest, we are prudent, and we are responsible.
What we do
We preside several sectors such as Energy, Real Estate, Financial Institutions, TMT&H (Technology, Media, Telecom and Healthcare) and we are approaching new key-sectors when it comes to Italian excellence, in particular Food&Agri and Manufacturing.
The ING difference is based on our global reach with local experts, our sector expertise and our commitment to sustainability. This means that we can offer our clients a seamless local experience with a global perspective through our extensive network of experts. Clients trust us to deliver tailored solutions that meet their specific needs, thanks to our deep knowledge of the sectors we operate in. Additionally, we are pioneers in sustainability and we actively collaborate with clients to address some of the most pressing issues in the world today.
In Italy two key business areas are represented by the internationalisation of Italian companies and their sustainable transition. These are areas where we can add value through our international professional network, which makes our service offering, including corporate finance and cash management, particularly robust.
