May 30, 2011 (The Australian Financial Review - ABIX via COMTEX) -- ING Direct is a major innovator in electronic commerce in Australia, a market it entered in 1999. Some 87% of transactions carried out by the customers of the fifth-largest deposit-taking bank are using the internet, and it has rolled out an application for the Apple iPhone. However, CIO Andrew Henderson says it will not release similar software for the rival tablet computers and smartphones running the Android operating system of Google, as that market segment is too small to justify the capital investment. One advantage for ING Direct over the four main banks is its lack of outdated core IT systems.
