ING Netherlands introduces a Mobile Banking app for the smartwatch (only in Dutch) today. It’s ING’s third innovation of the Mobile Banking app in less than a year: in September 2014 hands-free banking with voice recognition was launched and fingerprint authentication was introduced in March this year.

‘Wearables’ like the smartwatch are the latest trend and make it possible to check your account balance even faster by just looking on your smartwatch. The app for Android is available today. The app for iOS will be available in the summer.

Earlier this week, ING Direct Australia introduced ‘One Swipe’ Banking and an Apple Watch App.

ING is continuously striving to make banking easier by innovating its services to customers. This way, the bank helps its customers to become and stay financially fit. The bank is closely following developments in society and technology to be able to achieve this.
