ING subscription model, Volkswagen price cuts, and major tech deals hit June market
June 2026 brings significant shifts across banking, automotive, and consumer tech sectors. ING has launched a subscription-based banking model with four plans (ING Go, More, Extra, Max), emulating neobanks like Revolut. The plans offer tiered benefits including credit cards, savings interest up to 1%, and perks like Amazon Prime or Disney+ subscriptions. Pricing in Spain is yet to be confirmed, but Dutch rates start at €4/month for the basic plan Source: El Mundo, El País.
Automotive discounts
Volkswagen slashed prices by up to 26.3% on several popular models in Argentina. The T-Cross entry version dropped from $50.8 million to $37.9 million, while the Nivus base version became the cheapest model at $33.3 million. The Virtus sedan saw reductions of 19–26% across all versions, with discounts of nearly $13 million. These moves aim to boost sales after a 5.7% decline in the first four months of 2026 Source: Clarín.
