Designing the omnichannel branch of the future
ING
ING is a global financial institution with a European base serving customers in over 40 countries. With over 8 million customers ING is the largest consumer bank in the Netherlands. Given the rapid change of customer expectations and the focus of the bank on digital, ING wanted to develop a future-proof design of the omnichannel branch.
“SparkOptimus strengthened our strategic plan by challenging with a strong outside in perspective, and added very valuable (basic and) innovative views, which not only resulted in a solid strategic ambition but also in the tactical roadmap for successful implementation”
