Have a question?

The iDEAL payment method is specific to the Netherlands, making it perfect for businesses looking to expand in the Netherlands or to attract Dutch customers. 

iDEAL is popular in the Netherlands primarily because it offers a seamless and secure online payment experience for Dutch consumers. It allows customers to make direct payments from their own bank accounts, eliminating the need for credit cards or other intermediary payment options. It is widely adopted by Dutch banks and is supported by most major online retailers, making it a trusted and convenient payment method. 

To use iDEAL, a Dutch bank account is typically required as it is directly linked to a customer's bank account for payment processing. However, some non-Dutch banks also offer iDEAL as an option for their customers. 

iDEAL is a major payment method in the Netherlands. Apart from iDEAL, other commonly used payment methods include credit/debit cards, bank transfers, PayPal, and mobile payment apps like Tikkie and Apple Pay.
