I am very please to introduce ING. Owing to the fact that the Group introduction has been already widely covered by my colleagues, I would like to elaborate a bit more on the wholesale banking, where we are operating. ING Wholesale Banking (WB) provides all of the banking services to large corporations and financial institutions by offering products with an international team of more than 18,000 colleagues in 40 countries.
Wholesale Banking plays a fundamentally important role within ING Group. The essence of the Group’s business is to collect customer deposits – i.e. to take savings – and invest them in high quality assets to earn return. Wholesale Banking complements the Group’s business model in three ways: as a contributor of capital, as an important generator of assets, and as a source of skills and expertise. WB is a significant contributor to Group profit.
