Payment method iDeal now offers users the option to create an account and pay at online stores that support it, the organization announced today. know. The user profile, which contains address details and the account used, can be used via the ‘Quick order’ button at online stores that support it. An iDeal account can be created via the user’s banking app or during checkout at a webshop that supports iDeal.
Before users share their data, an overview of the information requested by the online store is first shown. Web shops cannot see payment information, such as bank account number. iDeal carries out the payment without sharing financial information with the webshop. The iDeal profile will be expanded in the future with more options, such as recurring payments for a subscription, payment later or in parts.
According to former iDeal owner Currence, data that users add to their profiles is stored ‘with a high privacy standard’. IDeal claims that ‘Quick ordering’ is safer, because data is stored with iDeal and no longer separately at each online store. The traditional iDeal payment method, which does not require an account, will remain available, according to iDeal.
