The Mission

Open Banking evolves around Application Programming Interfaces (APIs): a way to easily open-up capabilities and share data. We believe it will help ING to accelerate innovation and collaboration with partners, clients, and platforms to improve customer experiences and create new business models.

Key to success is our developer portal at developer.ing.com which enables parties to connect and create value in an easy, secure, and scalable way.
