iDEAL, a Dutch payment method that covers bank-to-bank transfers, was launched in 2005 and is the most popular payment method in the Netherlands today. 

Shoppers can pay quickly, safely, and easily with iDEAL through their bank's app, internet banking, or by scanning a QR code on their desktop. Whether it's a payment link after a purchase or a payment request from a friend, iDEAL comes in various forms, and the magenta iDEAL logo is synonymous with online payments for many people living in the Netherlands.

As the payment ecosystem rapidly changes, with increasing demand for a smooth checkout experience, iDEAL is also upgrading its infrastructure, flows, and features.
