Is ING Bank Crypto-Friendly?

ING Bank is a crypto-friendly financial institution that allows its customers across Europe, the UK, the USA, and abroad to freely buy and sell digital assets. Their banking policies only state that investors need to avoid off-shore and unlicensed trading platforms like BitMex or Gate.io.

This is why we recommend that you stick to trusted platforms like eToro which have been licensed by European and US regulators since 2008.

About ING Bank

ING Bank is a Dutch multinational banking and financial services corporation headquartered in Amsterdam. Its primary businesses are retail banking, direct banking, commercial banking, investment banking, asset management, and insurance services. ING Group also operated in the United States until October 2017 when it sold most of its American division to Capital One.

The company was founded in 1991 as a result of the merger of two Dutch banks, NMB Postbank Groep and the original Rotterdamsche Bank, which had been established in the 19th century. It was initially named NMB Postbank Group, but changed its name to ING Group in 1998. The group consisted of several insurance companies as well as banks and other financial services companies, with operations throughout Europe, North America, Asia Pacific, and South America.

The Orange Lion on ING's logo alludes to the Group's Dutch origins under the House of Orange-Nassau. ING is an abbreviation for Internationale Nederlanden Groep (literal translation: "International Netherlands Group").
