ING Hubs and its Impact on the bank's strategy: How Hubs Romania will develop, according to Marnix van Stiphot, COO of ING Group.

“We are building the best bank in Europe, and hubs are playing a key role in our strategy.”

The network is diversified, with each hub having clear specializations: the largest, in the Philippines (over 6,000 employees), covers a wide range of services - from software development to financial crime prevention, finance and retail & wholesale operations, while the hub in Poland (with over 3,000 employees) focuses on software development, infrastructure, automation and fraud prevention and financial crime. In the hub in Slovakia (over 1,500 employees) wholesale operations are managed, and the Turkish hub (200 employees) set up last year specializes in software development and data analysis. And the newest centre, recently opened in Spain, is focused on infrastructure and application development, being the only one in the network of tech hubs ING that is in the eurozone.

In this complex ecosystem, the hub in Bucharest has formed an essential role in technology, focusing mainly on software development, data management and analysis, as well as risk management.
