How is my account protected if ING became financially unstable or declared bankruptcy?
Although no financial services company is immune to the difficult market environment, ING has expressed to us its confidence that its risk management practices have and will continue to serve the company and its customers well during this difficult financial period. Even in the event that ING should suffer financial difficulty, the Plan’s interests are secure and well protected. The money in your Plan account is beyond the reach of any ING creditor. Under federal and state law, the money you contribute to the Plan must be held in trust (or its legal equivalent) for the exclusive benefit of Plan participants and beneficiaries.
