iDEAL is an interbank system used in the Netherlands. All major banks in the Netherlands support iDEAL, and it's the most popular online payment method in the country.

iDEAL is becoming Wero, a new European payment method that's built on iDEAL. It's backed by major banks across the European Union. It's already live in France, Belgium, Germany, and Luxembourg.

Customers in the Netherlands see iDEAL | Wero as an option to pay. They authenticate and confirm payments using their banking app, making it quick and secure.

You don't need to set up a bank account in the European Union to add iDEAL | Wero as a payment option with Paddle.
