ING Forced to Reveal Google Payment Deal | Amsterdam News

ING’s secret deal with Google over Android contactless payments is now in the open after a court ruled they must hand over details—six weeks to comply. The move follows ING’s September shutdown of its own app, pushing users to Google Pay. Consumer groups, including Consumentenbond, fought for transparency, arguing customer data flows to Google amid its privacy record—though some internal research is exempt. While the groups celebrate the ruling as a win for accountability, ING says it’s disappointed and is reviewing the decision. The bank initially felt blindsided, seeing itself as a pawn in a larger battle against Google. This case underscores the growing tension between digital payment convenience and data privacy in the age of big tech.
