ING Bank, one of the largest and most important banks in Romania, started this week to notify its card customers about some changes that will take place starting on March 1. We are talking about notifications sent by email to some of those who are customers of ING Bank, and the changes are different depending on the type of card, the way they make transactions with their help, and the way they interact with HomeBank.
ING Bank make this change for those who receive their salary in the account to which they have a card attached, or if they have the ING Gold option, so not everyone will benefit from the changes, according to the bank. ING Bank will offer Romanian clients a personalized exchange rate starting on May 1st, and it will be available non-stop, so the exchange rates should be better than those of 4.7388 for buying and 4.8734 for selling, of banks.
ING Bank: IMPORTANT changes for Cards from May 1
ING Bank also waive administration fees for money collections, transfers, payments in euros/LEI anywhere in the world, or for operations in LEI or in euros. Moreover, ING Bank will now send push alerts to phones regardless of the value of the transaction that is made, something very good, because at the moment the minimum amount is 50 LEI, so anything below this value is not registered, but things are changing for the better.
"Because you exchange currency more often than you think, we thought of offering you one that will last with you. And with your holidays in France, and with clothes bought online, at any time and any day. The personalized course is offered within the limit of 10.000 lei/calendar month or the equivalent in another currency, both when paying by card and in Home'Bank. Other 0 commissions for operations related to your account. From account and salary card administration to receipts, transfers or payments in lei or euros, anywhere in the world. Yes, you read that right, 0 commissions for operations in lei, 0 commissions for operations in euros."
ING Bank it also introduces 3DSecure authentication for "Transfer your money" operations, except for recurring transfers, so we have more security for transfers here as well. ING Bank says that it also waives the commissions for withdrawing money from ATMs, not only its own, but from all the ones in Romania, regardless of which bank they are from, but if I remember correctly, it will come true soon a year since this is already valid in Romania at all banks.
ING Bank he should have already sent you an email with all these news, and if he hasn't done it yet, then it is possible that your card will not benefit from these changes that the bank has prepared.
