ING Wholesale Bank ranked again as Australia’s leading European bank by overall market penetration

ING Wholesale Bank has been ranked the number one European bank by overall market penetration in Australia in the Coalition Greenwich Voice of Client – 2026 Australia Large Corporate Relationship Banking Study, based on direct feedback from corporate and institutional clients.

The independent study, conducted annually by Crisil Coalition Greenwich, benchmarks banks on relationship strength, service quality and delivery, drawing on insights from senior financial decision-makers at large organisations. The result reflects how clients assess ING’s consistency, responsiveness and capability in supporting their businesses.

The  ranking reflects ING Wholesale Bank’s model of combining an international network with locally based sector expertise, helping clients navigate complexity and build long-term relationships in an evolving operating environment.

ING Head of Wholesale Banking Andrew Hector said the no.1 ranking  was particularly meaningful because it was grounded in client feedback.

“Being the number one European bank in overall market penetration in Australia by our clients is a strong endorsement of how our team supports customers every day,” Mr Hector said.

“Our focus is on building trusted relationships, bringing global capabilities to local clients and keeping things simple in a complex world. This  ranking speaks to the consistency of our people and our commitment to supporting clients at every stage of their growth.”

As the leading European bank in market penetration in Australia, ING is uniquely positioned to help clients navigate the new opportunities emerging from the recently signed EU–Australia Free Trade Agreement, connecting local businesses with European markets through deep regional expertise and global reach. 

Mr Hector said ING would continue to invest in its capabilities to ensure it remains a dependable partner for Australian corporates and institutions.

“We’ll continue to build on this by investing in our people and capabilities to support clients as their priorities evolve.”
