But at the beginning it was not easy for him. College, new people, a fast pace changed his previously quiet lifestyle. In the summer, he found a part-time job, which he decided to keep even after the vacation.

Always with her phone, Andreia wants to be as connected as possible to the life of the city, but especially to offers that help her make her spending more efficient. At the end of September, Andrea found out about the promotion from social networks The cafe is even better when you’re Free@ING. Since it didn’t cost her anything, she quickly went to an ING office where she opened an account, set up her Home’Bank and got her card on the spot.

Then he reserved the Bazar offer at Home’Bank to get up to 10 lei back for the first five payments with 5 to go. For her, this means 5 free cups of coffee because her favorite coffee does not cost 10 lei. Therefore, Andrea does not earn commissions through her Free@ING account and ING gives her a cashback of 5 to 10 November 2023.

At a part-time job, Andrea decided to save up to go to Vienna with her friends. She discovered that in addition to the other cashback offers she can order from ING Bazar, there is another super easy way to save pennies: Round Up, which helps her save every time she shops.

With Round Up by ING, for every debit card or phone payment at POS, as well as for online card payments, the amount is rounded up to the next multiple of 5. Anything above (ie the rounded part) of the payment amount is automatically transferred from the current account on savings That is, in the “Vienna, wait for me” account, in the case of Andrea, who makes sure to add something from her salary to it every month.

Yesterday evening, Andrea went to the supermarket, paid 91 lei, but 95 lei was withdrawn from her checking account. Because 4 lei were transferred, i.e. deposited, to her account in Vienna.

It’s not necessarily easy being a student, working, socializing and saving, but Andrea has found a balance she tries to maintain. He has always believed that a good start can mean an easier path, so he believes that all the efforts he is making now will be rewarded someday.
