Good morning, this is Laura welcoming you to ING's 3Q 2024 Conference Call. Before handing this conference call over to Steven van Rijswijk, Chief Executive Officer of ING Group, let me first say that today's comments may include forward-looking statements, such as statements regarding future developments in our business, expectations for our future financial performance, and any statement not involving a historical fact. Actual results may differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statement.
A discussion of factors that may cause actual results to differ from those in any forward-looking statements is contained in our public filings, including our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and our earnings press release as posted on our website today. Furthermore, nothing in today's comments constitutes to offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities.
Good morning, Steven, over to you.
Steven van Rijswijk
Hi, good morning, and welcome to our results call for the third quarter of 2024. I hope you're all well. And as usual, I'm joined by our CRO, Ljiljana Cortan; and our CFO, Tanate Phutrakul. In today's presentation, I will inform you on the progress we have made on the strategic priorities we have set during the Capital Markets Day earlier this year, and this progress has resulted in another strong quarter and enables us to improve the outlook for the remainder of this year.
Tanate will walk you through the financials of the quarter and provide some insights in our expectations for the margin developments going forward. At the end of the call, we will be happy to take your questions.
And now let's move to Slide number 2. This slide shows how we have continued accelerating growth. We again had a very strong commercial performance this quarter with a further increase in the number of customers and client balances. And in addition, our total income has reached the highest level ever in the third quarter.
