iDEAL is a Netherlands-based payment method that allows customers to complete transactions online using their bank credentials. All major Dutch banks are members of Currence, the scheme that operates iDEAL, making it the most popular online payment method in the Netherlands with a share of online transactions close to 70%.
iDEAL redirects customers to their online banking environment to authenticate a payment using a second authentication factor, and there is an immediate notification about a payment's success or failure. The exact customer experience depends on their bank.
iDEAL is based on the SEPA credit transfer and is seamlessly integrated with the online banking systems offered by banks.
Supported banks include: ABN AMRO, ASN Bank, bunq, ING, Knab, Rabobank, RegioBank, Revolut, SNS, Svenska Handelsbanken, Triodos Bank, Van Lanschot.
Disputed payments
The risk of fraud or unrecognized payments is low because the customer must authenticate the payment with their bank. As a result, you won't have disputes that turn into chargebacks, with funds withdrawn from your Solidgate account.
Refunds
iDEAL payments can be refunded up to 180 days after the original payment.
