We're proud to see Irina Barbu, IT lead for Tech Foundation and Channels at ING Hubs Romania, featured in Business Magazin's 𝟏𝟎𝟎 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 catalogue.
This year's edition explores how leaders embrace innovation and navigate an increasingly complex business environment, while keeping people at the heart of their decisions.

Leading a domain of more than 300 tech professionals, Irina helps connect local expertise with ING's global technology strategy, building scalable technology foundations and digital experiences used across multiple countries. 🌍 Her teams contribute to solutions with significant impact, from 𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐬 and 𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 to 𝐝𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐨𝐧𝐛𝐨𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐮𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, and 𝐜𝐲𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬.

In this rapidly changing world, Irina believes the next generation of professionals needs more than technical expertise. Responsibility, critical thinking and continuous learning are equally important for building lasting impact. As she puts it: "𝐺𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑡 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑓𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑙𝑠 𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑖𝑚𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑖𝑟 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑘 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑙𝑙𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑟 ℎ𝑖𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑟𝑐ℎ𝑦." 🪢

[𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫'𝐬 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭, 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧] 🍉☀️ Time off isn't just for summer. We encourage our colleagues to recharge whenever they need to, and we make it easier to take the time that matters by offering:

✔️ Extra annual leave days based on years of work experience (up to 27 days a year)
✔️ A paid day off to celebrate your birthday, anytime during your birthday quarter
✔️ Up to 30 days of international remote work each year, because life doesn't always happen in one place
✔️ One 'unfit for work' day when you're feeling under the weather, no doctor's note required

🔕 As much as we enjoy our community life, coming together to innovate, brainstorm, learn, or do volunteer work, distance has its perks too.

We believe people thrive when they have the space to rest and recharge, and we make room for them to enjoy the best of both worlds. 🧡

Behind every balance check, payment or transfer is the 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐤: 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦. 🧡 Customers never see it, yet they rely on it every day. It keeps accounts, balances and transactions running securely, reliably and in real time.

Modernising it is one of the most complex challenges in banking. Why? 🤔 Because banks are expected to be always on. You can't stop operations for an upgrade, which means stability and innovation must evolve side by side.

Cristina Tudor, IT lead Retail Core Banking and Architecture at ING Hubs Romania, explains what it takes to modernise this critical platform while keeping services seamless for customers.
🔗👇🏻More in the HotNews.ro article below.

At ING Hubs Romania, our Core Banking teams contribute across the entire lifecycle of this platform, from development and integration to operations and 24/7 support. Their work helps deliver and scale 𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐬: Romania, Italy, Spain, Germany and Belgium. By building reusable solutions, driving standardisation and aligning with a shared architecture, they enable sustainable modernisation at scale, without compromising service continuity.

When the platform at the heart of the bank never stops, modernisation can't stop either. 🔄

Now that we've gathered the numbers, here are the results of the 7th annual 𝐑𝐮𝐧 𝐨𝐫 𝐛𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭. 🌳

Together with colleagues from ING Hubs Romania and ING Romania, along with their families and friends, over 500 participants ran or biked for a shared cause: to contribute to something lasting, as 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝.

Thanks to their efforts, more than 8,000 new trees will be planted on top of the 28,000 already growing with the support of Viitor Plus.

Today, we can already enjoy the shade of the trees planted in past editions, and soon, we'll see even more areas brought back to life through reforestation. 🧡

At ING Hubs Romania, one of our priorities is to attract, develop and empower best-in-class talent. As our organisation continues to grow its payment & digital journey capabilities, we believe that technical excellence must go hand in hand with a deep understanding of customers, markets and the industry we operate in.

This belief was the starting point for “𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐁𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭”, our first event dedicated to bringing together the 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 around topics shaping the future of financial services.

Organised through a joint effort between ING Hubs Romania, ING Romania and colleagues in ING Group, in partnership with Wall-Street.ro, the event created a space for meaningful conversations on customer experience, open banking, digital payments and the evolving European financial ecosystem.

We were delighted to welcome nearly 100 professionals and industry experts, representing 45 companies, for an evening of insights, perspectives and valuable connections.

👏 A special thank you to our speakers:
🔸 Violeta Negruța (ING Group)
🔸 Ailin Alzaitri (ING Hubs Romania)
🔸 Raluca Gogu (ING Bank Romania)
🔸 Raluca Micu (former NBR representative | Netopia)

Their expertise and perspectives helped shape a conversation that reflected both the opportunities and the challenges ahead for our industry.

As we continue to invest in building best-in-class talent, we look forward to bringing together experts, practitioners and thought leaders through future editions that help build the business acumen needed to create products and services that truly matter to customers.

Over the past years, ING Hubs Romania has steadily evolved into a 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐠𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐡𝐮𝐛 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧 𝐈𝐍𝐆, becoming an integral part of how the bank builds and scales technology globally.

In a recent interview with Ziarul Financiar, 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐞 𝐓𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚, chief technology officer and member of the Management Board Banking at ING Group, shares more about this evolution and reflects on the role our teams in Romania play today in 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈𝐍𝐆'𝐬 𝐠𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐞.

They contribute to 𝐤𝐞𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬 𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐚𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐩𝐚𝐲𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐈-𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠, working on shared platforms and products used in 24 ING markets. For example, they drive instant payments implementations in Germany, Italy and the Netherlands, and contribute to Wero, the European digital wallet backed by 16 financial institutions, including ING.

Our focus goes beyond delivery, with an emphasis on ownership, long-term expertise and close collaboration with business partners across the organisation.

We had our summer celebration, and these snapshots say it all: full-on fun, with sun, sand, games, and a touch of beach mood. ☀️

Every year, we make time for a summer evening by the lake, with music, dancing, great chats, and a big toast to our ever-growing ING Hubs Romania community. 🥂

Here's to us and everything we create together!

On Saturday we hosted the 7th edition of our annual event, 𝐑𝐮𝐧 𝐨𝐫 𝐛𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭. 🌳
It all started in 2020, with colleagues running in their neighbourhoods, backyards or on treadmills, coming together for a shared cause, even in the imperfect context of the pandemic.

Last year, we welcomed cyclists 🚴 alongside runners, and the energy only grew stronger, with everyone supporting reforestation. This year, we were glad to also welcome colleagues from ING Romania, whose involvement made the event even more special.

🌳 The rule stays simple: 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝.

Now a true tradition, we met again in Băneasa forest to run or bike alongside colleagues, family and friends. There was laughter, good vibes, green trails, mud and sun, and we welcomed it all! ⛅

Those who couldn’t join there have been contributing from wherever they are in Romania and abroad: Amsterdam, Lisbon, Warsaw, the Lofoten Islands. For them, we extended the challenge until 31 May, and we’re still counting the kilometres covered. We’ll be sharing this year’s results soon.

Over the past six editions, more than 28,000 trees have been planted in southern Romania, one of the most deforested regions, together with our partner, Viitor Plus. With this year’s edition, we expect thousands more trees to be added to the areas that need them most.

Thank you to everyone who moved for good, volunteered, or cheered us on! 👏🏻
