ING stands with the people of Ukraine

At ING, we’re deeply saddened and concerned by the brutal violence we’re witnessing in Ukraine. “We strongly condemn the invasion of Ukraine, the devastating and heartbreaking impact it has on people’s lives and the threat it poses to international stability and security,” said Steven van Rijswijk, CEO of ING Group.

 “We stand with the people of Ukraine and our thoughts and hearts are with the people who are suffering and fearing for their lives and livelihood.”

We have decided:

  • To not do any new business with any Russian companies.
  • To waive fees for transactions to Ukraine for personal customers in all our retail markets until further notice, to allow people to send money to loved ones.
  • To make a €3 million donation to UNICEF’s relief efforts to help children and their families in the affected areas, on top of the various local fundraising initiatives taking place across our markets.
