Singapore
The Final Terms and accompanying base prospectus (together, the "Prospectus") have not been registered as a
prospectus with the Monetary Authority of Singapore. Accordingly, the Prospectus and any other document or
material in connection with the offer or sale, or invitation for subscription or purchase, of any Notes may not be
circulated or distributed, nor may any Notes be offered or sold, or be made the subject of an invitation for
subscription or purchase, whether directly or indirectly, to persons in Singapore other than (i) to an institutional
investor under Section 274 of the SFA, (ii) to a relevant person pursuant to Section 275(1), or any person pursuant
to Section 275(1A), and in accordance with the conditions specified in Section 275, of the SFA, or (iii) otherwise
pursuant to, and in accordance with the conditions of, any other applicable provision of the SFA.
Where the Notes are subscribed or purchased under Section 275 of the SFA by a relevant person which is:
(a)
a corporation (which is not an accredited investor (as defined in Section 4A of the SFA)) the sole
business of which is to hold investments and the entire share capital of which is owned by one or
more individuals, each of whom is an accredited investor; or
(b)
a trust (where the trustee is not an accredited investor) whose sole purpose is to hold investments and
each beneficiary of the trust is an individual who is an accredited investor, then
"securities" or "securities-based derivatives contracts" (each term as defined in Section 2(1) of the SFA) of that
corporation or the beneficiaries' rights and interest (howsoever described) in that trust shall not be transferrable for
six months after that corporation or that trust has acquired the Notes pursuant to an offer made under Section 275
of the Securities and Futures Act except:

N.V. has determined, and hereby notifies all relevant persons (as defined in Section 309A of the SFA) that the

Issue of U.S.$1,250,000,000 4.625% Fixed Rate Senior Notes due 6 January 2026
under the 55,000,000,000 Debt Issuance Programme
The Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act and may not be sold except (i) in accordance with
Rule 144A under the Securities Act, (ii) in an offshore transaction in accordance with Rule 903 or Rule 904 of
Regulation S under the Securities Act, (iii) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities
Act or (iv) in any other transaction that does not require registration under the Securities Act.
MIFID II product governance / Professional investors and ECPs only target market Solely for the
purposes of each manufacturer's product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the
Notes has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Notes is eligible counterparties and
professional clients only, each as defined in Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II"); and (ii) all
channels for distribution of the Notes to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any
person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a "distributor") should take into
consideration the manufacturers' target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is
responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or
refining the manufacturers' target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.
PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA RETAIL INVESTORS The Notes are not intended to be offered,
sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail
investor in the European Economic Area ("EEA"). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is
one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; (ii) a customer within
the meaning of Directive 2002/92/EC ("IMD"), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client
as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Directive
2003/71/EC (as amended, the "Prospectus Directive"). Consequently no key information document required
by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise
making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the
Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs
Regulation.
The Base Prospectus referred to below (as completed by these Final Terms) has been prepared on the basis
that any offer of Notes in any Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the
Prospectus Directive, (each, a "Relevant Member State") will be made pursuant to an exemption under the
Prospectus Directive, as implemented in that Relevant Member State, from the requirement to publish a
prospectus for offers of the Notes. Accordingly any person making or intending to make an offer in that
Relevant Member State of the Notes may only do so in circumstances in which no obligation arises for the
Issuer or any Dealer to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive or supplement a
prospectus pursuant to Article 16 of the Prospectus Directive, in each case, in relation to such offer. Neither
the Issuer nor any Dealer has authorised, nor do they authorise, the making of any offer of Notes in any other
circumstances.
Part A -- Contractual Terms
Terms used herein shall be deemed to be defined as such for the purposes of the Terms and Conditions of the
Notes (the "Conditions") set forth in the Base Prospectus dated 30 March 2018 as supplemented from time to
time, which constitutes a base prospectus for the purposes of Directive 2003/71/EC, as amended from time to
time (the "Prospectus Directive"). This document constitutes the Final Terms applicable to the issue of Notes
A37628690

described herein for the purposes of Article 5.4 of the Prospectus Directive (as implemented by the Dutch
Financial Supervision Act (Wet op het financieel toezicht) and its implementing regulations) and must be read
in conjunction with such Base Prospectus. Full information on the Issuer and the offer of the Notes is only
available on the basis of the combination of these Final Terms and the Base Prospectus. The Base Prospectus
is available for viewing at the Issuer's website (www.ing.com/Investor-relations/Fixed-income-
information.htm) and copies may be obtained from ING Groep N.V., c/o ING Bank N.V. at Foppingadreef 7,

Note that this does not necessarily mean that the Notes
will ever be recognised as eligible collateral for
Eurosystem monetary policy and intraday credit operations
by the Eurosystem at any time during their life. Such
recognition will depend upon the ECB being satisfied that
Eurosystem eligibility criteria have been met.
