ING has launched private banking services in Spain and Italy for clients with financial assets of at least €500,000 ($559,670). The offering is part of the bank's Get Europe Invested programme and extends its private banking presence in the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Poland.
Why it matters
The launch brings ING's wealth services to two additional European markets as the bank seeks to increase access to long-term investing. It reflects a broader push by banks to combine digital investing platforms with personal advisory support.
ING reports more than 6,000 relevant-segment clients in Spain, served by 35 private bankers and more than 50 specialists, with about 40 private bankers serving Italy. Reported figures do not include the launch date or early client uptake in either market.
The players
ING
ING is a global Dutch banking and financial services group that has operated in private banking for more than 30 years and serves more than five million investment clients across its markets.
The details
Clients can invest independently, take personal investment advice, or appoint ING to make day-to-day decisions through discretionary portfolio management. The service combines digital investing tools with personal support, and ING says it plans to add advanced advisory services, private markets access, and further wealth solutions over time.

Market Landscape
The launch extends ING's Get Europe Invested programme, which focuses on broadening access to long-term investing, into Spain and Italy. It places ING's private banking alongside its existing operations in the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Poland.
