Advantages to using iDeal

iDEAL offers several advantages compared with other payment methods:

• iDEAL involves paying by means of online banking, using familiar and secure systems.
• You can start using iDEAL straight away. You do not have to register, download any files or open an account.
• You can start using iDEAL right now if you already have online banking with ABN AMRO, Fortis, Postbank, Rabobank or SNS Bank.
• iDEAL is easy and quick to use, all transaction details are already filled in for you and you receive immediate confirmation of successful payment processing.
• You will remain in control of your payment at all times. iDEAL payments are processed immediately and appear on your account immediately.
