“We are constantly looking for new ways to make it even easier for our customers to manage their finances; Apple Pay fits in perfectly with that. Due to the corona pandemic, we are seeing a change in behavior among our customers, who are less likely to use cash. Half of all payments are now made contactless, a sharp increase from 13% a year ago. With the introduction of Apple Pay in the ING Banking app, we are seizing the momentum to offer our customers a new payment method that offers ease of use in stores, on the road and online,” said Amaury Vanthournout, Payments Director at ING Belgium.
Users of iPhone simply open the Wallet app, tap + and follow the steps to add debit or credit from ING Belgium.
