Advertising
You may have noticed some of our new television commercials, which feature Frederik (of course), ING DIRECT's spokesperson, encouraging you to save your money with ING DIRECT.
We've also launched a new outdoor billboard campaign (in orange, of course) to catch your attention, and inspire you to save. Look out for the orange signs in your neighborhood, or take a peek at them here.
On Hold Messaging
While our intention is to never have you on hold when you call us, sometimes it just can't be helped. To make it a bit less painless to be on hold, we've asked Frederik to keep you entertained while you wait. Have a listen!
