What is an iDEAL profile?

An iDEAL profile is a feature that saves your bank account and personal details to streamline online purchases, allowing faster and easier checkout without re-entering information each time you buy from a participating online store.

An iDEAL profile is optional, but helps make payments smoother and faster.

💡 Read more about the iDEAL profile on the iDEAL website.

What are the benefits of having a profile?

iDEAL Fast Payment (Snel Betalen)

If you save your bank account in your iDEAL profile, you don’t need to select a bank each time. When you pay, your bank sends a push notification so you can confirm the payment directly in your banking app.

iDEAL Fast Checkout (Snel bestellen)

If you save your address and contact details in your iDEAL profile, you don’t need to enter them each time. After a payment, iDEAL shares this information with the webshop so your order can be completed faster. This feature is only available at participating shops – look for the iDEAL Checkout (Snel bestellen) button.

Who can create an iDEAL profile?

iDEAL profile registration and management are available only for customers with a Dutch (NL) IBAN. Only an Owner and Manager can create a profile.

The profile belongs to a user, not to a company or a bank account.

💡When creating an iDEAL profile, you enter an agreement with Currence iDEAL B.V., iDEAL's owner. Personal data is shared only when necessary for purposes like fraud prevention or security, and only with the user’s prior consent. Currence iDEAL B.V. guarantees secure data handling by its partners.
