Department Overview

The Loan Distribution Group is an integral part of the wider Capital Markets and Advisory (CMA) team at ING. The Loan Sales team within Loan Distribution Group is the face to the market for all transactions where loans and loan-based products are distributed to the wider investor community.

The Loan Syndicate team, operating across three locations in Sydney, Hong Kong, and Singapore, supports the various ING product teams in obtaining financing mandates where the financing requirement is greater than ING’s capacity or willingness to provide on a standalone basis. The department’s transactions range from plain vanilla corporate loans to highly structured facilities.
