Can I set up an iDEAL profile?
You can set up an iDEAL profile if you’re an ABN AMRO client and at least 16 years old. You only need a current account. You will never be asked to share government documents while setting up your profile.
Can I create an iDEAL profile with more than one bank?
Yes, you can. When you set up your profile, you will be asked whether you have already created a profile with another bank. If you have, you can add your ABN AMRO current account to your existing iDEAL profile. You’ll then be able to choose which account to use when you pay for a purchase in an online shop.
What’s the difference between ‘iDEAL Pay Fast’ and ‘iDEAL Checkout’?
‘iDEAL Pay Fast’ means that your name and account number will be shared when you complete your online purchase.
‘iDEAL Checkout’ means that your address details and possibly your contact details will be shared, as well as your name and account number. This depends on which details you’ve added to your iDEAL profile. The details are shared with the online shop just once, to complete the purchase.
Not all online shops offer ‘iDEAL Checkout’. You’ll see whether the option is available when you go to pay.Read more about iDEAL Checkout on the iDEAL website.
Is an iDEAL profile compulsory?
No. You can continue paying with iDEAL as usual.
