Disclosure of operating segments [abstract]  
Segments 17  Segments
ING Group’s segments are based on the internal reporting structure by lines of business.
The Executive Board of ING Group and the Management Board Banking (together the Chief Operating Decision
Maker or CODM) set the performance targets, and approve and monitor the budgets prepared by the segments.
Segments formulate strategic, commercial, and financial plans in line with the strategy and performance targets
set by the CODM.
Recognition and measurement of segment results are consistent with the accounting policies as described in Note
1 'Basis of preparation and material accounting policy information' of the 2025 ING Group Consolidated financial
statements. The results for the period for each reportable segment are after intercompany and intersegment
eliminations and are those reviewed by the CODM to assess performance of the segments. Corporate expenses are
allocated to business lines based on time spent by head office personnel, the relative number of staff, or on the
basis of income, expenses and/or assets of the segment. Interest income per segment is reported as net interest
income because management relies primarily on net (rather than gross) interest revenue to assess the
performance of the segments.
The following table specifies the segments by line of business and the main sources of income of each of the
segments:

ING Group monitors and evaluates the performance of ING Group at a consolidated level and by segment. The
Executive Board and the Management Board Banking consider this to be relevant to an understanding of the 
Group’s financial performance, because it enables investors to understand the primary method used by
management to evaluate the Group’s operating performance and make decisions about allocating resources.
In addition, ING Group believes that the presentation of results in accordance with IFRS-EU helps investors compare
its segment performance on a meaningful basis by highlighting result before tax attributable to ongoing
operations and the profitability of the segment businesses. IFRS-EU result is derived by including the impact of the
IFRS-EU ‘IAS 39 carve out’ adjustment.
The IFRS-EU ‘IAS 39 carve-out’ adjustment relates to fair value portfolio hedge accounting strategies for the
mortgage and savings portfolios in the Benelux, Germany and Other Challengers that are not eligible under IFRS-
IASB. As no hedge accounting is applied to these mortgage and savings portfolios under IFRS-IASB, the fair value
changes of the derivatives are not offset by fair value changes of the hedge items (mortgages and savings).
The segment reporting in the interim report on Form 6-K has been prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the EU (IFRS-EU) and reconciled to International Financial Reporting
Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IFRS-IASB) for consistency with the other
financial information contained in this report. The difference between the accounting standards is reflected in the
Wholesale Banking segment.
Reference is made to Note '1.2  Basis of preparation of the Condensed consolidated interim financial statements’.
for a reconciliation between IFRS-EU and IFRS-IASB. Corporate expenses are allocated to business lines based on
time spent by head office personnel, the relative number of staff, or on the basis of income, expenses and/or
assets of the segment.
ING Group reconciles the total segment results to the overall result using Corporate Line. The Corporate Line
includes capital management activities, as ING Group applies a system of capital charging for its banking
operations to create a comparable basis for the results of business units globally, irrespective of the business units’
book equity and the currency in which they operate.
Corporate Line also includes certain income and expenses that are not allocated to the banking businesses, such
as our investments in Bank of Beijing and TMBThanachart Bank (TTB) as well our stake in Van Lanschot Kempen
and the run-off portfolio in Luxembourg. Furthermore, results in the Corporate Line are impacted by the
application of hyperinflation accounting in the consolidation of our subsidiary in Türkiye under IAS 29.
The information presented in this note is consistent with the information presented to the Executive Board of ING
Group and the Management Board Banking. This note does not include details on the types of products and
services from which each reportable segment derives its revenues, as this information is not reported internally.

2ING prepares the Form 6-K in accordance with IFRS-IASB. This information is prepared by reversing the hedge accounting impacts that applied under the EU 'carve-out' version of IAS 39. For the underlying result, the impact of the carve-out is re-instated as this is the measure at which management monitors the
business.
