The latest update is out from ING Groep ( (ING) ).
On 30 April 2026, ING reported a first-quarter 2026 net profit of €1.56 billion and profit before tax of €2.26 billion, up 7% and 6% year on year respectively, driven by higher commercial net interest income, strong fee growth and disciplined costs. The bank’s CET1 capital ratio stood at 13.0% and return on tangible equity at about 13.6–13.9%, alongside €15 billion in net core lending growth, €7.2 billion in core deposits growth and the launch of a €1 billion share buyback programme, underscoring robust capital generation and continued shareholder returns.
Retail lending rose by €9.4 billion, including €5.9 billion in new mortgages across markets such as the Netherlands, Germany, Italy and Australia, while business and wholesale lending expanded and assets under management climbed to €281 billion. ING also advanced its strategic priorities with a larger mobile customer base, top Net Promoter Scores in key markets, further roll-out of the pan-European Wero payment solution, and an 11% year-on-year increase in sustainable financing volumes to about €34 billion, reinforcing its competitive position in digital and sustainable banking despite geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainties.
