Following an analysis of the Luxembourg market, ING decided to refocus its retail banking activities on personalised and specialised long-term financial services (personal and private banking). In addition, ING continues to develop its wholesale banking offering, targeting large corporate clients, institutional clients and investment funds. To facilitate this strategic development, in December 2024, ING entered into an agreement with BGL BNP Paribas, to offer an attractive alternative to its individual customers who benefit from daily banking services. Combining the opening of an account with special conditions and access to a wide range of products and services, this exclusive offer meets their daily banking needs.
BNP Paribas Real Estate launches Operating Partner Services. This pan-European service offering combines the expertise of property management and asset management. Throughout the ownership of the real estate asset, from its acquisition to its disposal, it provides each major client, whether an asset manager or an investor, with full support in the operational execution of its property strategy. Responding to the new challenges of creating value and performance in an increasingly complex environment, this support goes far beyond the traditional tasks of property management in terms of expertise, coordination and ease of management.
