ING has two overarching strategic priorities: giving our customers a superior experience and putting sustainability at the heart of what we do. To put these two priorities into practice, these are the things we’ll focus on getting right: Providing seamless, digital services, whilst using scalable tech, staying safe & secure and unlocking our people’s full potential.

Your work environment
ING’s Payments and Settlement Services (“PSS”) aims to further mature, develop and expand ING’s state of the art payment platforms and services. PSS focuses on delivering payments, settlement, and open banking services, meeting the expectations of ING’s business lines and beyond, whilst ensuring the basics: safe, secure, compliant, and reliable. The PSS is an independent unit within ING’s CTO domain, reporting directly into ING’s Chief Technology Officer. The PSS combines Product Management, IT and Operations to ensure we can develop, maintain, and run our payment & settlement services end-to-end. PSS is a global organization with colleagues in the Netherlands, Belgium, India, Romania, Slovakia and the Philippines.
