ING

ING

The ING provides students with a cheaper alternative to ABN AMRO, but at the cost of no English language forms, information, or internet banking. All of these are available only in Dutch. You can ask for an English explanation of how to log in to your ING (Mijn ING) account online. It also explains how to transfer money nationally and internationally, and how to change your mobile number if you have one connected to your account.
