On March 3, 2026, ING reported progress on its €1.1 billion share buyback programme launched on 30 October 2025, confirming it repurchased 2,528,615 shares between 23 and 27 February 2026 at an average price of €24.86, for a total of €62.9 million.

The continued execution of the buyback highlights ING’s solid capital position and its willingness to return excess capital to investors while tightening its share base. For shareholders, the progress signals discipline in capital management and may support earnings per share over time, while also reinforcing the bank’s standing among European peers actively using buybacks as a tool for capital optimisation.
