CSR:
Corporate Social Responsibility

ING Vysya bank has always been committed to making a positive contribution to Society. Promoting education for under-served
children is one such cause which has been very close to the bank. Through the ING Vysya Foundation, it seeks to provide less
advantaged children an opportunity to secure a better future by providing them with education.
Born out of three business entities of ING in India, ING Vysya Bank, ING Life Insurance, and ING Investment Management, the
Foundation has been able to strike the right balance between supporting organizations financially and contributing time and effort
of the employees to nurture and mentor these children, for a better future.
ING Vysya Foundation commenced its activities in December 2004 with a water-harvesting project in the Udaipur and
Rajasmand districts of Rajasthan, North India. The initiative provided villagers with access to clean water and recharged ground-
water wells which in turn support the local agricultural industry.
The Foundation has also been actively involved in relief efforts following the Tsunami that hit the South Indian coast on 26
December 2004. In cooperation with the regional headquarters of ING at Hong Kong, ING Vysya Foundation supported a
number of projects, including the rebuilding of homes and schools, and other facilities for a number of villages. Another project
included the micro-financing for 40 fishing boats and the attendant equipment for the villages of Mudaliyarkuppam and
Arcotuthurai, in Tamilnadu.
As part of the ING Chances for Children programme, the Foundation signed a five-year agreement to support 100 orphans' living
and schooling expenses. Additional funds, set up enabled of a day-care centre with training facilities which is used by the
community at large.
Other initiatives include ING Investment Management's auctions of paintings drawn by street children for the NGO Pratham and
ING Vysya Bank's 'Run Ricky Run' in which the bank sent a child back to school for each run the Australian cricket captain
Ricky Ponting scored in international one-day matches during a one-year period ending September 2008.
Today, Foundation partners with thirteen local charity organizations in India. It helps children to be in the primary schools to
realize their right to education as the first step towards breaking the cycle of poverty.
The Foundation depends on voluntary contributions for all its activities. The Foundation runs an annual fund raising campaign to
help garner support from employees of its three entities for the cause. To make a contribution, please contact

Banking operations and recent development in 2013-14
INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEMS
The internal control framework of the Bank is based on the three lines of defence model, which is a
comprehensive risk governance framework that provides clarity on roles and responsibilities in terms of
risk ownership and its management. Under this model:
The Executive Board members, Senior Management and Business Managers who are the risk takers
in the business collectively form the first line of defence. They are primarily responsible for the day-to-
day management of risk in accordance with agreed policies, appetite and internal controls at
operational level.
The second line of defence consists of all units / functions that are responsible for risk oversight and
risk guidance in the Bank. These functions includes Credit Risk, Market Risk, Operational Risk,
Compliance, Legal, Finance, Human Resource, etc. and is responsible for development of specific risk
policies, risk processes and risk controls that are in line with the regulatory requirements and the agreed
risk appetite.
The Internal Audit Department, which is independent of the risk and business functions, forms the
third line of defence. They are responsible to provide an independent assurance of the design and
effectiveness of internal controls over the risks.
The framework is supported with policies and minimum standards that are adopted and implemented
uniformly across the Bank.
BUSINESS REVIEW
An overview of various business segments along with their key performance achievements in 2013-14 is
presented below.
RETAIL BANKING
The key priorities for the Retail Bank are acquisition of new customers, ensuring ING Vysya become the
Primary Bank by meeting the financial needs of our customers, growing CASA & Retail Deposits and
increasing cross-sell of all products offered by the Bank.
(i) Branch Banking
During the year the Bank opened 11 new branches across India, taking the number of branches and
extension counters from 542 to 553. In terms of the mix of the branches, the network is fairly spread
with 32% in Metro areas, 31% in Urban areas, 20% in Semi Urban and 17% in Rural locations. The Bank
expanded its ATM network from 500 to 638 during the year.
During the year, the Bank added a dedicated vertical for the Institutional segment. This team is focused
on acquiring and managing various institutional clients, including trusts, associations, clubs, societies as
well as larger private limited companies.
The Bank also launched three new premium debit MasterCard variants. These new Debit Cards come
with two unique features: a milestone-based rewards program and the facility to choose a debit card
background from a gallery of images. We also launched EMV (Europay, MasterCard and VISA), a Chip
enabled Debit Cards which provide a higher level of security.
The Bank underlined its focus on offering an easier banking experience by launching a state-of-the-art
mobile banking platform for iOS (Apple) and Android phones. With cutting edge design, market leading
functionality and a strong technology platform, the mobile app has been extremely well received by
customers with nearly 35,000 downloads in a short span of time. The application allows customers to
view their accounts, balances & transactions, transfer funds using National Electronic Funds Transfer
(NEFT),
Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) and Immediate Payment Service (IMPS), book/close fixed deposits,
access their mutual funds, loans and demat accounts and more.
The Bank completed a partnership with Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) for
online booking of railway tickets. This now permits customers of the bank to book rail tickets on the
IRCTC website using ING Net banking or Debit cards for payment. Such initiatives have enabled the Bank
to witness strong growth in online payment transactions.
During the year the Bank introduced Invest Xpress, an innovative process of booking mutual funds
over the phone. Through this initiative, the Bank has been successful in removing the infrastructure
bottlenecks faced by customers in remote locations, making mutual fund investments easier and
accessible to them. The Bank has also been able to reduce the paperwork and time taken for all
customers to book mutual fund transactions.
The Bank also started offering a complete online trading solution to all its customers through a tie-up
with Kotak Securities. With the new 3-in-1 Online Trading Account our customers are now in a position
to do trades and invest instantaneously using their linked ING Vysya Bank & ING Demat account.
(ii) Business Banking (SME)
The Bank has traditionally focused on Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise business, partnering in their
growth through decades.
The Business Banking segment serves the needs of business enterprises with annual sales turnover of up
to ` 1,500 million for both domestic and export credit requirements. Apart from regular working capital
facilities, the Bank also offers structured products to cater to the needs of clients. This segment has also
contributed significantly towards priority sector advances of the Bank. The clear focus, strategy,
underwriting capability backed with a strong relationship and acquisitions team, has helped ensure a
healthy and profitable growth in this segment.
(iii) Consumer Loans
The Banks consumer lending products include home loans, loan against commercial & residential
property, loans for commercial vehicles & construction equipment, auto loans, personal loans, gold
loans and education loans. Mortgage loans continue to be the largest portfolio in the consumer business
and will continue to fuel the consumer loan portfolio. However during the year there was greater
emphasis on loan against property. The personal loan business has grown steadily focusing mainly on
salaried customers and will continue to have the same segmental focus.
(iv) Credit Card
The Bank has recently launched Credit Card that will be cross sold to existing customers of the Bank. This
fills a gap in the overall product offering to our customers. The Bank has tied up with Master Card for
the offering. Segments to be targeted include Salary and Savings Account customers, fixed deposit
customers and Business Banking customers. The focus on internal customer base with strong policy
norms will ensure that a profitable business is built up.
(v) Agricultural and Rural Banking (ARB)
The Bank has traditionally focused on Agriculture and Rural Banking (ARB), partnering with the farmers
for their growth through the decades. ARB serves the farmers for all their needs spanning crop loans,
investment loans and farm equipment loans, etc.
Along with the regular revolving credit the Bank also offers the farmers a debit card (under KCC). This
segment has contributed significantly towards direct agriculture which is a critical component of priority
sector advances of the Bank.
The Bank has introduced farm equipment funding to its existing Kissan Credit Card (KCC) customer base.
This business has started in Punjab and will be scaled up to other potential locations during the next
financial year. Farm equipment financing has tremendous potential for growth as various factors like
adoption of precision farming techniques, migration of agricultural workforce to urban centers, growing
tractor industry, MNREGA scheme etc. are fueling the rise in farm mechanization.
The Bank has had its association with the MSME segment since its inception and has partnered their
growth for nearly eight decades now. The ARB segment apart from serving the needs of the farmers
serves the other MSE businesses in its catchment areas. The business covers the agriculture value chain
apart from other business falling under the purview of priority sector. The good practices of clear focus,
strategy, underwriting capability backed with a strong relationship team and support team will ensure
that our portfolio continues to remain healthy.
Under the Financial Inclusion (FI) Programme, the Bank has promoted Rural Self Employment Training
Institute (RSETI), Bagalkot as a co-sponsor. During the year RSETI has conducted 26 training programs
and covered 683 beneficiaries, of which 591 are now employed. Since inception in 2003, RSETI has
conducted 655 training programs, covering 24,385 beneficiaries of which 18,011 are now employed. The
Institute has been graded as AA this year, which is the highest grading basis annual audit of all such
institutes across the country & was felicitated by the Ministry of Rural Development, Government of
India.
The Bank is actively participating in ABPS (Aadhaar Based Payment System) whereby beneficiaries can
receive centrally disbursed funds directly into their linked bank accounts. The Bank has seeded 49,882
beneficiary account numbers this year under this scheme.

HUMAN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
One of the key measures employed in assessing effectiveness of managing of human capital is the
Sustainable Engagement Index, which is a barometer of the bonding that an employee demonstrates
towards the organization. The Bank continued to improve its high scores on this critical metric in the
Winning Performance Culture survey, an annual employee engagement initiative conducted globally by
ING for all its group entities by an independent organization Towers Watson. Based on the feedback on
various parameters last year several actions were initiated which also contributed to the improved Index
Score.
Trainings to up skill employees offered a structured approach and focused on functional and behavioral
skills. Learning interventions were focused on freshers as well as lateral hires and programs were
designed to provide employees the skills required to perform their roles and to progress into roles with
higher accountability. Development tracks were put into place to help internal progression into senior
roles within the Branch Banking network. We are also reinforcing the status of compliance and
standards as an important element of how we do our business and all our trainings are focused to
ensure that our employees understand and meet their responsibilities.
A series of functional specific programs were rolled out with internal subject matter experts taking the
lead in design and delivery.
This year we also launched ING Young Banker Program (IYBP), an initiative designed to prepare fresh
graduates to join the Bank as Customer Care Managers. ING Vysya Bank has tied up with Manipal Global
Education to create the ING Young Banker Program offering a Post Graduate Diploma in Banking
Operations and Finance (PGDBOF). It provides the selected Young Bankers structured training in various
aspects of Banking and Management disciplines and overall development of personality. This is one of a
series of initiatives that we have taken towards strategic shift in the focus of Talent Acquisition from
BUY to the MAKE mode.
The Bank has an institutionalized approach to identifying a group of top performers with potential to
become future leaders referred to as a Talent Pool. These employees are categorized into three
categories viz.: Young Talents, Emerging Leadership Talents and Leadership Talents. This year saw a high
level of engagement for the junior pool of talents. There was increasing focus on providing non training
as well as training interventions. A key initiative in this area was the Guest Auditor Programme delivered
by the Internal Audit and Talent Management departments together. The first batch of 25 Guest
Auditors started off this year and over 80% have completed their cross functional 7 day branch audit.
This year the talent management team launched a new mobile learning application called
Orange Owl for senior leaders which won an award at the CLO Summit (Chief Learning Officer) organized
by Tata Institute of Social Science & Leapvault. This year the Leadership conference (for the top 150
Leaders of the Bank) LEAP 2013 focused on Building Customer Experience across the bank.

Active engagement of ING Vysya in these projects has positively impacted a large number of deserving
children across the country. This helps us leverage our resources, both funds as well as skills to create
long-term impact in the lives of these children. Further, this involvement engages our employees, who
volunteer their time on various projects to share their skills. During the year, several volunteer initiatives
were organized under the Hope Brigade program. Activities ranged from teaching children spoken
English, garden cleanup activities, painting/marking trees and planting saplings, raising awareness on
reducing the spread of bacteria during the monsoon, taking children on educational tours, story-telling
classes to develop reading habits among children and donating books to libraries. Around 4,000
employees volunteered for 12,000 hours (average 3 hours per volunteer) in these initiatives. In India,
ING Global ChallengeChances for Children with a theme on Spreading financial Literacy among
children involved 2,500 employees across 230 branches.

programs that were initiated during 2011-2012.

importance of savings. During this year, the program has conducted refresher course for parents. A core

Emplioyee and stakeholder SAT:
Stakeholder Engagement
Our human capital connects to the Banks global motto ING for Something Better. We undertake
extensive employee engagement and a best practice is our Winning Performance Culture (WPC) Survey
conducted by an independent organization Towers Watson. Last year, we identified two focus areas-
Customer Service and Compliance Culture. In 2013 as part of the action points two cross functional
teams of Leadership Talents was setup to drive initiatives across the bank in these areas.
As part of the same 22 workshops called Unmute were run by Young Talents across the country.
The 2013 WPC was conducted in October 2013 with a healthy participation of 84%. The survey is
measured by the Sustainable
Engagement Index (which represents the bond or attachment the employee has to the company). This
year we scored 79% on this index (5% more than global ING peers). We have improved over 2012 scores
in the focus areas and overall in all categories. The focus of 2014 is the Net Promoter Score (NPS) and
engagement for employees in Band / Level E14.
We include employees in the Banks evolution through our magazine Intouch, a periodic e-magazine
featuring accomplishments, milestones and events across the organization. Our Learning and
Development Team engages with employees regularly on subjects of finance, management and
professional development. Townhalls on a multitude of subjects are also hosted. We believe that such
interaction contributes to effective stakeholder engagement and encourages staff to join in the Banks
sustainability journey.
