### 2/5 — Bad experience

*2026-02-02, version 4.35.0*

I opened an account with this bank during a visit to Bucharest. I am a Romanian citizen but permanently live abroad. The branch manager was very polite and helped set everything up quickly.

Unfortunately, I wrote down my password incorrectly during the setup, but I did manage to activate Face ID. When I received my card, I found out that I couldn’t activate it because my app access was blocked.

In the support chat, I was told that an internal ID document is required to unlock access, which I do not have — I only have a passport. When I called the bank, they said the only option is to fly to Bucharest in person to restore access.

Honestly, this feels absurd. In 2025, most banks handle such issues remotely, especially for customers who live abroad.

Please inform customers about these limitations in advance. If I can’t find a solution soon, I will have to close the account.

### 5/5 — Super ușor de folosit

*2025-10-26, version 4.32.1*

Îmi place și grafica și felul intuitiv de accesare a diverselor servicii. Am termene de comparație cu multe alte bănci și aplicațiile lor.

*2025-09-11, version 4.32.0*

ING = Perfection

### 1/5 — Nu aveti incredere in aceasta banca

*2025-04-01, version 4.29.0*

Am cont la ei cu banii care am lucrat o vara întreabă in America și am făcut împuternicire petru tata la notarul Ambasadei Romane in NY  sa îmi administreze și sa scoată banii de la ING și CEC. Când sa prezentat sa facă transfer bancar sau sa scoată banii din banca nu a putut sa facă deoarece ei nu sunt autorizați sa facă asta. Dar precizez ca la CEC sa putut

### 5/5 — iPhone 15 Pro app not working properly😔

*2025-03-01, version 4.28.2*

It’s been a month (actualy since the last update January 26th) since I can see details in the app. I can open, see the main page but if I want to see the payments history or cards details I see just a blank page… I thought is my phone but I do have an iPhone XS and it does the same… can it be fixed?

### 1/5 — Insane customer journey!!

*2025-01-22, version 4.28.1*

So i need a business account tried home bank. They force you to open a personal account, ok fine i open a person account! Eww process! Finally i try to add the company information and get the message please come to our office to validate your data! If i have to come to your office it’s not opening an account online! Horrible app!

### 1/5 — Aplicatie invechita si cu erori

*2026-02-07, version 4.35.1*

Deseori pica aplicatia cand tie lumea mai draga. Trebuie sa stergi si sa o reinstalezi. Cand stergi dispozitivul de incredere nu te intreaba: ba prostule, daca faci asta nu vei mai primi notificari pe noul dispozitiv pana nu stergi din vechiul dispozitiv. Ghici ce, vechiul si noul este acelasi dispozitiv si degeaba spare notificarea activata ca nu mai functioneaza. Nici sa o dezactivezi/reactivezi nu merge.
Nu are modul intunecat iar angajatii de la call center te iau la per tu de parca esti neam cu ei sau esti prieteni cu ei….lipsa de politete crasa.

As da 0 stele

### 1/5 — never works

*2026-02-07*

out of 3 payments, 2 failed so i had to redo them. Fix the app and fire the developers and their managers

**Developer response:** We are sorry for the unpleasant experience! If you need our support, please send us a private message on the ING Romania Facebook page. 🙏

### 1/5 — Not great at all

*2026-02-04, version 4.35.1*

Before I opened an account with ING I was told the app supports English and it doesn’t. So not pleased with service at the bank or the app to be honest.

### 1/5 — ING THE BEST

*2025-12-17, version 4.34.0*

Cea mai tare bancă !!!!

### 1/5 — Oribil

*2025-12-16, version 4.34.0*

Evitați pe cat posibil pentru că vă jecmănește cu comisioane mai mari decât suma plătită

### 1/5 — ani mai tarziu tot -1

*2025-12-16, version 4.34.0*

dupa atata experienta, tot la -1 ati ajuns.. nu stiu cum reusiti dar tineti-o tot inainte sa va goniti clientii vechi! bravo, renuntati la QA, testeaza clientii fraieri!
si va scade profitul!
daca ma intrebati ce merge prost (desi evident), va rog sa faceti un request formal, cu tarif 1000 pe ora!
apropo, doar prin faptul ca imi tineti banii ostatic, va pot da in judecata… si probabil ca voi purcede, ca nu este prima oara!

### 1/5 — Buggy!

*2025-12-13*

Cannot understand how a reputable bank cannot afford to build a reliable application. Quality seems to be going from bad to worse, just în time for holidays

**Developer response:** We're sorry you're having problems using the app! We recommend you to reinstall it and if other errors occur, send us a private message on the ING Romania Facebook page or through the Chat in Home'Bank (Mai multe - Contact ING).

### 1/5 — Not working

*2025-12-12*

Certain parts of the app just leave you with a blank screen and do nothing

**Developer response:** We're sorry you're having problems using the application! We recommend you to reinstall it and if other errors occur, send us a private message on the ING Romania Facebook page or through the Chat in Home'Bank (Mai multe - Contact ING).

### 1/5 — English language

*2025-10-16*

The app. should have English language beside Romanian’s so foreigners can understand the app.

**Developer response:** Hello! We have noted your feedback and send it to our app developers!

### 1/5 — Nu deschideți cont la această bancă !!!

*2025-04-01*

Am bani în cont la ING și am făcut o împuternicire petru mama să îi scoată bani din bancă  și nu s-a putut deoarece ei nu lucrează cu bani. Mi-ai spus ca trebuie să îi scot din bancomat, trebuie să am card. Trebuie să scot suma de 4000 Ron și banca  nu mă lasă să fac nici transfer bancar deoarece mi-au spus ca această tranzacție se face doar online de pe telefon

### 5/5 — Gabriela Dobrin / Anca Branch Manager - Bucharest Office Dorobanti

*2026-06-23, version 4.38.1*

5 stars. 

After 3 years of back-and-forth with no results, Gabriela Dobrin came in and solved it all. Extremely professional, responsive, and thorough. 

Anca as branch manager is a superstar – the two of them went the extra mile. 

 Can’t recommend them highly enough.
