defined in Condition 17 of the Terms and Conditions of the Notes), "ING Bank" or the "Bank") may from time to time issue notes (the "Notes", as more fully
defined herein).
Together with the registration document of ING Bank dated 27 March 2020, as supplemented on 31 March 2020 and as further supplemented or replaced
from time to time (the "Registration Document"), this Securities Note forms part of the Issuer's base prospectus consisting of separate documents within the
meaning of Article 8(6) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129, as amended (the "Prospectus Regulation") (the Registration Document together with this Securities Note,
the "Prospectus").
This Securities Note has been drawn up in accordance with Annexes 14, 22 and 28 of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/980, as amended
and has been approved by the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (the "AFM") in its capacity as competent authority under the Prospectus Regulation.
The AFM only approves this Securities Note as meeting the standards of completeness, comprehensibility and consistency imposed by the Prospectus
Regulation. Such approval should not be considered as an endorsement of either the Issuer or the quality of the Notes that are the subject of this Securities
Note and investors should make their own assessment as to the suitability of investing in the Notes.
The Issuer has requested the AFM to notify the competent authorities in each of Belgium, France, Luxembourg and Poland providing it with a certificate of
approval attesting that the Prospectus consisting separate documents (i.e. this Securities Note and the Registration Document) has been drawn up in accordance with
the Prospectus Regulation (a "Notification"). The Issuer may from time to time request the AFM to provide to competent authorities of other member states of the
European Economic Area ("EEA") and the United Kingdom further Notifications concerning the approval of the Prospectus consisting of separate documents (i.e.
this Securities Note and the Registration Document).
Notes to be issued under the Programme during the period of twelve months from the date of this Securities Note, which are:
(a) offered to the public in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom in circumstances which require the publication of a prospectus under the

as "Exempt PR Notes".
The Issuer may also issue unlisted Notes and/or Notes not admitted to trading on any regulated market within the European Economic Area or the United
Kingdom and, where such Notes are, in addition, issued with a minimum denomination of at least 100,000 (or its equivalent in any other currency at the date of
issue of the Notes) or otherwise fall within an exemption from the requirement to publish a prospectus under the Prospectus Regulation, such Notes are hereinafter
referred to as "Exempt Notes".
The Issuer may from time to time issue PR Notes (which may be Non-Exempt PR Notes or Exempt PR Notes) and Exempt Notes.
The AFM has neither approved nor reviewed information contained in this Securities Note in connection with the issue of any Exempt Notes.
Prospective investors should have regard to the factors described under the section headed "Risk Factors" of this Securities Note.
Amounts payable under the Notes may be calculated by reference to the Euro Interbank Offered Rate ("EURIBOR") which is provided by the European

other benchmark, in each case as specified in the applicable Final Terms. As at the date of this Securities Note, each of ICE and EMMI are included the in register of
administrators and benchmarks established and maintained by the European Securities and Markets Authority ("ESMA") pursuant to Article 36 of the Benchmarks
Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/1011) (the "Benchmarks Regulation").
If a benchmark (other than EURIBOR or LIBOR) is specified in the applicable Final Terms, the applicable Final Terms will indicate whether or not the
benchmark is provided by an administrator included in the register of administrators and benchmarks established and maintained by ESMA pursuant to Article 36 of
the Benchmarks Regulation.
The registration status of any administrator under the Benchmarks Regulation is a matter of public record and, save where required by applicable law, the
Issuer does not intend to update the Securities Note or any applicable Final Terms to reflect any change in the registration status of the administrator.
The Notes can be of a speculative nature and an investment in the Notes involves certain risks. Prospective investors should have regard to the risks

Document, contains all material risks currently known to the Issuer. There may be other (material) risks which are currently not known to the Issuer. Prior to

Note and should seek independent professional advice.
Tranches of Notes to be issued under the Programme may be rated or unrated. Where a Tranche of Notes issued under the Programme is to be rated, such


rating will not necessarily be the same as the relevant rating assigned to the Notes already issued. Where a Tranche of Notes is rated, the applicable rating(s) will be
specified in the relevant Final Terms. Whether or not a rating in relation to any Tranche of Notes will be treated as having been issued by a credit rating agency
established in the European Union or the United Kingdom and registered under Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009 on credit rating agencies (the "CRA Regulation")
will be disclosed in the relevant Final Terms. A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to suspension, reduction or
withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency.

Prospectus in the event of significant new factors, material mistakes or material inaccuracies does not apply when the Prospectus is no longer valid.
Any decision to purchase the Notes should be made on a consideration of the Prospectus as a whole (comprising this Securities Note and the
Registration Document) and including the relevant Final Terms.
