Job Description

Why ING?

The world of banking is changing faster than ever. That is why we at ING are always broadening our horizons. Our people have a forward-thinking mentality, a strong can-do spirit and enjoy working in an agile environment.

What does the Metals, Mining and Fertilisers (“MMF”) Team do in ING?

MMF EMEA is responsible for relationships and business development with ING WB Clients throughout EMEA. The MMF sector covers the following industries: copper mining & smelting, iron ore mining, bauxite mining (and associated aluminum smelting and refining), nickel mining and gold mining and processing. With the global transition to an energy system based on renewables expected to lead to a sharp increase in demand for critical minerals, there is a growing focus on critical battery minerals such as lithium and nickel, across the mining, smelting and precursor segments. The EU’s renewed interest in strategic autonomy (and cooperation with likeminded states) has added a strong dimension to the day to day work in the team.

ING has consistently held a top-3 spot in the global league tables as a lead arranger in mining transactions, with a very strong track record in project finance. MMF provides (structured) corporate debt solutions for the mining sector to finance acquisitions, mine expansions, greenfield construction, or to refinance existing debt. Besides supporting clients through structured lending, the team works together with other products teams to provide clients access to a whole suite of banking products i.e., advisory services, financial markets, debt capital markets, etc.
