Life as a student or young person at the beginning of a career can be full of difficulties, but good advice from family or friends, the trust of others and self-motivation can make the experience better. Hello. Especially in times of uncertainty such as the one we are experiencing, support for young people and students can come in many forms to give them the encouragement they need to live freely and prioritize activities that interest them. The healthier the principles of financial behavior will be, the faster the risks of a disorganized financial life will decrease.

ING Bank invites people aged 18 to 24 to become Free@ING with an offer optimized for their needs. They can enjoy the transition to financial independence by getting free access to ING Card Complet, with zero fees and no administrative costs for all transactions carried out and all the benefits it brings, even without the obligation to collect current income or carry out transactions.

Among the advantages: unlimited access to Home’Bank, the most comprehensive and valuable integrated Internet and mobile banking service in Romania, But and discounts at ING Bazar.

How young people can manage their money with Free@ING

More specifically, the novelty of ING’s offer, which is exclusively for young people between 18 and 24 years old, is that with ING Card Complet they do not need to earn a minimum monthly income or earn on at least one transaction per month. At the same time, young people can quickly, without any costs, take advantage of all the advantages of the card without any restrictions.

Among other things, the Home’Bank app allows you to personalize according to your preferences, make payments quickly, easily and securely using your mobile phone, as well as instant payments to friends who have accounts with ING Bank.

With every ING Card Complet transaction, young people can save money with Round Up, ING’s service that helps customers save when they shop. In addition, through Home’Bank, they can access ING Bazar, where they can select relevant offers from numerous partner merchants, receiving cashback directly when paying for card purchases.

Research by IRES in July shows that 30% of young people intend to save in the near future, while only 10% are unlikely to be able to do so. This proves that saving is an interest for them, especially after the pandemic period, when they learned this habit. The last two years have affected the consumer behavior of all Romanians, including young people under 24. They are more cautious when buying consumer goods, travel, IT&C products and gadgets.

Those who wish can open their card on the spot and for free, with two options available, depending on their preferences: 100% online, through the Home’Bank app or at any ING office.
