ING Groep NV is using 'vibe coding' artificial intelligence to build electronic trading tools for currencies and credit markets. The move represents the bank's latest AI deployment to compete with larger financial institutions.

The Dutch banking giant is leveraging the emerging AI technique to develop new trading infrastructure across its currency and credit divisions. 'Vibe coding' refers to AI systems that generate code based on semantic understanding rather than traditional programming logic, potentially accelerating development cycles. ING joins other financial institutions exploring AI-assisted code generation to modernize legacy systems and launch new trading capabilities. The approach allows banks to reduce development time while maintaining competitive advantage in fast-moving markets. Larger competitors including Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan have invested heavily in AI infrastructure and algorithmic trading. ING's adoption of 'vibe coding' signals the technology's maturation beyond research labs into practical banking applications. The bank has not disclosed a timeline for full deployment or specific performance metrics for the new trading systems.
