History and when ING Group N.V. was created
ING Group N.V. was formed in 1991 through the merger of Nationale-Nederlanden, a major Dutch insurance company, and NMB Postbank Group, a prominent banking institution. This integration created a financial conglomerate aligned with the European consolidation trends of that period.
The merger aimed to establish a diversified and efficient entity by combining insurance, retail banking and commercial banking activities. The group adopted a hybrid operational model focused on integrating financial services and expanding its competitive capacity within the region.
Throughout the 1990s, ING accelerated its international expansion by acquiring institutions in Europe, the Americas and Asia. This strategy strengthened its global presence and diversified its business lines and revenue sources.
In the 2000s, the group adjusted its structure in response to regulatory changes and strategic revisions, streamlining operations to enhance solvency and operational efficiency. These measures aligned the institution with updated supervisory requirements.
Following the 2008 global financial crisis, ING implemented restructuring programs mandated by European regulators, separating its insurance operations from its banking activities. Since then, the company has focused primarily on banking, consolidating its position as one of Europe’s leading financial institutions.
