What iDEAL is
iDEAL is the Dutch online bank payment method, run by Currence iDEAL B.V., which has been owned by the European Payments Initiative since 2023, and it carries around 70 percent of e-commerce transactions in the Netherlands. At checkout you choose your bank, get sent to your own banking app to approve a pre-filled transfer to the merchant's IBAN, and the merchant is told immediately whether the payment succeeded. From the end of January 2026 iDEAL is being rebranded and migrated to Wero, the European Payments Initiative's wallet, with every iDEAL merchant due to have switched by the end of 2027.
