Announcement Banking

ING Vysya Bank Ltd and Angel Broking Ltd, announced today the strategic tie-up to offer ING Vysya Bank customers a ‘three – in – one account‘that enables a seamless investment experience by integrating ING Savings Account, ING Demat Account and Angel Trading Account on a single platform.

The solution aptly named “ING Fortuna Trade” is powered by the industry renowned Angel Broking Ltd. The central theme of the solution is to make it easy for ING customers to trade online, and manage the three accounts with a single online interface. The platform allows the customer to lien mark funds from the ING savings account towards the Angel trading account; block and unblock shares between ING demat account and Angel trading account; and finally trade instantly. If the customer does not use the funds for trading, the lien mark is automatically released.

 

The solution has been customized to meet needs of customers across all segments. ING Vysya Bank customers have the choice of selecting Online Trading, Mobile Trading or a dealing facility through the phone. The customer can opt of one or more of the following segments: Equities, Futures & Options, Exchange Traded Currency Derivatives and Commodities, on the single platform. The platform also allows access to multiple exchanges, namely BSE, NSE, NCDX, MCX, and MCX-SX.

For HNI customers, the solution is customized with a dedicated dealer, access to privilege reports and priority servicing.

Commenting on the developments, Shailendra Bhandari, Managing Director & CEO, ING Vysya Bank said “There is continuous growth in Indian Equity Market, with huge opportunity for retail participation. Currently retail penetration is at 8%. With our network of close to 500 branches, catering to evolving needs of the mass affluent segment, the bank believes there is a huge opportunity to introduce our customers to online trading. With Angel Broking’s retail orientation and our network strength, this would prove an ideal fit.

It is only appropriate that we have commenced this service. With this offer, the bank is now catering to the entire investment requirements of a customer, through different product classes”.
