Awards: Year-end winners across the globe
Four ING countries have featured in end-of-year awards.
ING in Australia received their fourth award this year, named the ‘Most Trusted Financial Institution’ at the Australian Banking Innovation awards. The award, won by ING for the second year running, was based on the Banking Trust Index of RFI Group using the results of a survey of 63,000 Australian consumers conducted over the last 12 months. The index measures the degree of trust customers have with their banks.
“This award is very special because it represents why we exist - to be there, by our customers’ side so they can focus on the things that matter to them,” said Melanie Evans, country manager of ING in Australia.
