Or did you have one in the past? Then you may be eligible for compensation. The variable interest rate did not always move sufficiently in line with the market rate. We will correct this by compensating customers who have paid too much interest. We calculate the compensation starting from the year 2001.\r\n\r\nWe aim to compensate all customers who are eligible for this by the end of this year. If the compensation amount for a contract is more than €50, you will receive a compensation proposal for that contract, which must be signed. For compensation amounts below €50, no signature is required. This amount will be paid directly to the account number we have on record. You will automatically receive a notification about this. The calculation can be viewed via Mijn ING. For customers without Mijn ING, the calculation can be sent by post.\r\n\r\nRead below to find out what you can do if you do not agree with the outcome of our calculation, and what to do if you have a question.","headerImage":{"transformBaseUrl":"https://assets.ing.com/transform/fd8629ef-9eb0-44ac-bd87-f55d2a52a21e/Woondiensten-mother-and-daughter-at-home","type":"image","width":1920,"original":"https://assets.ing.com/m/2a9ba30c98a270dc/original/Woondiensten-mother-and-daughter-at-home.jpg","extension":"jpg"},"title":"Questions about your compensation calculation?"},"backLink":{"textLink":{"url":"/en/personal/loans","text":"Borrowing money"}}},"flexZone":{"flexComponents":[{"componentType":"sectionTitle","title":"Do not agree with the calculation?"},{"componentType":"paragraph","richBody":{"value":"<p>We no longer have all data for some years because the retention period has expired.
