ABOUT THIS SITE We are always looking for simpler solutions for you—ING’s customers. Bank of Beijing is China’s largest city commercial bank with its headquarters in the capital. With ING owning more than 16% of the bank, the easiest option was for us to team up to offer the most competitive rates to ING customers from around the world who are traveling to Beijing this summer. As a result, we decided to develop this site. With the world’s attention focused on the capital this summer, we wanted to make sure that traveling to Beijing this summer was even easier with ING.
