About ING

ING was founded in 1965 and is today Germany's largest direct bank, headquartered in Frankfurt am Main. As a BaFin-regulated institution, ING offers an integrated brokerage account alongside classic banking services such as checking accounts and savings. Investors can trade stocks, ETFs, funds, bonds, and derivatives, with a fee structure of 4.90 euros base fee plus 0.25 percent of the order value (maximum 69.90 euros). ING is aimed at long-term investors who appreciate the convenience of a full-service bank with brokerage functions. Over 800 free ETF savings plans are a strong argument for savings plan investors. The high trustworthiness and excellent customer service make ING particularly attractive for security-conscious investors. However, order fees are higher than those of neobrokers, and options trading as well as crypto trading are not offered.
