iDEAL fees: what you pay per transaction with every provider

The fixed amounts providers publish run from 17 to 39 cents per transaction, two of them charge a percentage instead, and some add a monthly fee on top while others do not. If you are looking for the cost of iDEAL at ING, at Rabobank or at ABN AMRO, you are in fact looking for the rate of a payment service provider, because that is the party you hold the contract with. Below are all 82 organisations licensed to sell iDEAL, with their published rate and the date it was checked, and with the reason where no rate exists.

Updated on 7 September 2026. The provider rates are their public rates and are checked again at the source every month.

Starting point

You do not pay an iDEAL rate, you pay your PSP's rate

iDEAL is a scheme. You hold no contract with it. You hold a contract with your PSP, and your PSP translates the scheme rules into the terms and the amount that lands on your statement. That holds when the PSP is your own bank too: ABN AMRO, Rabobank and ING sell iDEAL acceptance as a product, at their own rates, exactly as Mollie, Buckaroo, Pay. and Adyen do.

Who owns the scheme changed in 2023. EPI, the European Payments Initiative, completed its acquisition of Currence iDEAL B.V. and Payconiq International on 31 October 2023. The company is still called Currence iDEAL B.V. and still appears on ideal.nl as product and brand owner of iDEAL | Wero, but it has sat under EPI since that date. That is where the migration to Wero comes from, and where the commitment on price level through 31 December 2028 comes from. For your invoice it changes nothing at the core: the amount comes from your provider.

iDEAL publishes the participant list itself. On 18 August 2026 it counts 22 acquirers and 63 collecting providers, 82 organisations in total, because Buckaroo, CM.com and Stripe appear in both roles. All of them are listed below, with their rate or with the reason there is none, and classified by the model they price on. Far from every participant sells to a Dutch merchant.

Updated on 7 September 2026. The provider rates are their public rates and are checked again at the source every month.

Sorting by amount ranks list rates, and the vast majority of merchants do not pay those, see the band below. Names and roles come from the participant list iDEAL publishes itself, the list of acquirers and collecting PSPs, as at 18 August 2026. The rates come from each provider's own site. Where a provider splits its price into a method fee and a processing fee, the column carries the combined amount and the build-up sits next to it. A rate is a snapshot. If your provider's invoice says something else, that is not an error in the table but the result of your own contract.

Seven models for pricing iDEAL, and what each one decides

The amount in the table says less than the model behind it. That same model sits with every provider in the Model column, so you can scan the table on it. Where you win or lose depends on your numbers and your order values, not on the cent up front.

40On quotation only. No published amount, so no public anchor point. What you pay comes out of the negotiation, not off a price list.
16No merchant offer. These parties use iDEAL for themselves or for their own customers. Not an option for you, even though they sit on the participant list.
10Fixed amount per transaction. One amount, nothing else. What you pay moves with your numbers, not with your order values.
8Fixed plus a monthly fee. A lower amount per transaction against a fixed monthly cost. Where that lands depends on the number of transactions the monthly fee is spread across.
5Split rate. A method fee plus a processing fee. What you pay is the sum of the two; a quote often shows the first figure only.
2Percentage. The rate moves with the order value. What you pay therefore depends on the distribution of your order amounts, not on an average.
1Bundle or tier. Buckaroo is the only one with a published bundle: a number of transactions per month for a fixed amount, the full rate beyond it. What you pay depends on how your monthly volume sits against that bundle.

And two roles in the scheme

Beyond that, iDEAL knows only two kinds of contracting party, and that decides who collects your money and who pays it out to you.

22Acquirers. Licence holders with direct access to the scheme. ABN AMRO, Adyen, Mollie, Pay., Rabobank, Stripe and Trustly are among them.
63Collecting PSPs. Certificate holders that collect for their own account and pay out to you afterwards. Buckaroo, MultiSafepay, Worldline, Checkout.com and PayPal are among them.
3In both roles. Buckaroo, CM.com and Stripe appear on both lists. That is why 22 plus 63 adds up to 82 organisations and not to 85.
Banks

iDEAL fees at ING, Rabobank and ABN AMRO

The banks price differently from the collecting providers. Rabo iDEAL Professional sits at €20 per month and €0.27 per transaction, with €100 in set-up costs. Rabo OnlineKassa sits at €10 per month with a tiered per-transaction rate that changed on 1 January 2026 and is not published, and ING does not publish the rates for ING Checkout. ABN AMRO sits at €25 per month and €0.30 per transaction, with €50 in set-up costs. Mollie and Stripe charge no monthly fee and no set-up costs, but at €0.32 and €0.29 they sit above the Rabobank rate. These are published rates. What a merchant with volume pays sits in the quoted rate, not in this list.

The second assumption worth testing: that your acceptance belongs with the same party as your business account. That is a habit, not a saving, and it is one of the simplest points of leverage in a payment set-up that has been running for years.

Transparency

Forty of the 82 participants publish no rate

Twenty-six of the 82 participants publish a rate. Forty do sell acceptance but name no amount, and ING is one of them. The remaining sixteen do not sell acceptance to merchants at all.

At larger volumes every rate is negotiated, so a price list says little there. The consequence for you is bigger than it looks. Without a published rate there is no reference point, and without a reference point you judge a quote against the only price you know: your own, from last year. That is how a rate stays in place for years while the volume keeps growing.

What comes on top

The transaction price is not the whole bill

Underneath the per-transaction rate sit the items that rarely make it into a comparison and do come back every month. A refund costs €0.12 at Buckaroo and €0.30 at Viva Wallet. A bundle covers a number of transactions and charges the full rate beyond it, at Buckaroo €0.30 against €0.199 inside the largest bundle, so a peak month costs more than the rate inside the bundle suggests. CM.com applies a minimum of €50 per month, so below roughly 170 transactions per month you are paying for volume you do not run. Faster settlement is a separate monthly fee at some providers.

On top of that, part of the field charges a processing fee, on some invoices a gateway fee. They split the price into a rate for the payment method and a rate for processing the transaction, and put only the first one up front. CM.com makes it visible: €0.15 for iDEAL plus €0.14 processing fee, €0.29 together. Adyen does the same: €0.11 processing plus €0.22 for iDEAL, €0.33 together. Put two quotes side by side and you will regularly be comparing an all-in amount with the method component alone, and at CM.com that is close to a doubling, €0.15 against €0.29. One question settles it: what amount lands on my invoice per iDEAL transaction, processing fee included, and which items are charged separately alongside it?

What you do not pay on iDEAL matters just as much. An iDEAL payment is a customer-initiated credit transfer, so there is no issuer that can raise a chargeback and nothing to charge you for one either.

List rate

The vast majority of merchants do not pay this rate

The table above is full of list rates. The moment there is volume underneath, the market works differently. A published rate is built for the merchant who signs up unassisted, and every provider that works on quotation only is saying the same thing: at serious numbers, it is negotiated. A merchant who has never reopened the rate pays structurally more than a comparable merchant who did.

What counts is the quoted rate, and that is set by your numbers, your payment mix, your payment set-up and your risk profile, and above all by whether your provider believes you can leave. The figure you need for that is the distribution of your order values and the number of transactions per method, not your average order value: with a fixed amount per transaction, the money sits in the tail of that distribution.

Migration

What the move to Wero does to your rate

iDEAL is moving to Wero. By October 2026 every Dutch bank is connected to Wero, and the market's stated goal is to complete the migration by 31 December 2027 at the latest. EPI has published that Wero's scheme pricing stays in line with the current level of iDEAL and Wero through 31 December 2028. Several providers already list the method as iDEAL | Wero in their own rate cards.

That gives you a concrete test for your own contract. If you are quoted an increase before that date with the migration as the reason, that increase comes from your provider and not from the scheme. What happens after 2028 has not been published, and that is exactly why the term and the repricing clause of your PSP contract should be laid against that date now. The structure of the migration is set out on the page about accepting iDEAL and the move to Wero.

Questions

Frequently asked questions about the cost of iDEAL

What you pay

The amounts in these answers are published rates. What you pay yourself is the quoted rate in your own contract.

What does iDEAL cost per transaction?

With the providers that publish a fixed amount, between €0.17 and €0.39 per transaction, and two providers charge a percentage instead. With some of them fixed costs come on top, from €9 to €49 per month, and sometimes one-off set-up costs. Twenty-six of the 82 participants publish a rate, the rest work on quotation or do not sell to merchants.

What does iDEAL cost at ING, Rabobank or ABN AMRO?

ABN AMRO sits at €0.30 per transaction, €25 per month and €50 one-off. Rabo iDEAL Professional sits at €0.27, €20 per month and €100 one-off. Rabo OnlineKassa costs €10 per month with a tiered per-transaction rate that is not published. ING does not publish the rates for ING Checkout.

Which provider is the cheapest for iDEAL?

That depends on your number of transactions, not on the lowest line in the table. Pay. has the lowest published rate at €0.17 and charges no monthly fee on the entry package. Viva Wallet follows at €0.20 and Buckaroo at €0.199 inside the largest bundle. As soon as a monthly fee sits against a lower rate, the outcome moves with volume: Rabobank becomes cheaper than Mollie from roughly 400 transactions per month, ABN AMRO from roughly 1,250. Those break-even points sit on published rates; with a quoted rate they move.

What does iDEAL cost at 100 transactions per month?

Work out the whole picture, not just the rate. At Mollie that is €32 per month, at Pay. on the entry package €17, at Rabo iDEAL Professional €20 subscription plus €27 is €47, and at ABN AMRO €25 plus €30 is €55. At low volumes the monthly fee weighs more heavily than the per-transaction rate. These are published rates as well.

Is iDEAL cheaper than a credit card?

That depends on your order value. iDEAL is usually a fixed amount per transaction and a card is a percentage, so below a certain order amount the card is cheaper and above it iDEAL is. Your own break-even is your iDEAL rate divided by your effective card rate. The full working is on the page about accepting iDEAL and the move to Wero.

Costs beyond the per-transaction rate

Are there costs on top of the per-transaction rate?

Yes. Some providers charge a processing fee for handling the transaction alongside the method fee. On top of that you pay per refund, €0.12 at Buckaroo and €0.30 at Viva Wallet, CM.com applies a minimum of €50 per month, and bundles charge a higher amount beyond the agreed number.

What is a processing fee?

A separate fee for handling the transaction, alongside the fee for the payment method itself. On an invoice that line is also called a gateway fee. CM.com charges €0.15 for iDEAL plus €0.14 processing fee. Adyen charges €0.11 processing plus €0.22 for iDEAL, €0.33 together. When you request a quote, ask for the amount including the processing fee, otherwise you are comparing two different things.

What does a refund on iDEAL cost?

That differs per provider and it rarely appears in a comparison. Buckaroo charges €0.12 per refund and Viva Wallet €0.30. At Online Payment Platform the payout is free. In a category with a high return rate that line weighs more than a cent of difference on the rate.

Does a chargeback on iDEAL cost money?

An iDEAL payment has no chargeback. The customer initiates the payment from their own account, so there is no issuer that can raise one. What you pay back is a refund, and with some providers that carries a fixed amount each.

Are there set-up costs for iDEAL?

At the banks there are: ABN AMRO charges €50 one-off and Rabo iDEAL Professional €100 Novalnet charges €99 Mollie, Stripe, Adyen, MultiSafepay and Online Payment Platform name no set-up costs. It is a one-off item, so it says little about your costs on an annual basis.

What does iDEAL QR cost?

Where a provider names it separately, the rate equals that of a regular iDEAL transaction. CM.com lists iDEAL QR on its own line, at the same amount: €0.15 plus €0.14 processing fee.

Your provider and your contract

Do I contract with iDEAL or with my bank?

With neither. You contract with a payment service provider, and that provider makes the connection to the scheme on your behalf. If your own bank sells you the acceptance, the bank acts in that role. So the amount on your statement always comes from your provider and not from iDEAL.

What is the difference between an acquirer and a collecting PSP?

iDEAL keeps both categories separately: on 18 August 2026 that is 22 acquirers and 63 collecting providers. An acquirer has direct access to the scheme, a collecting provider collects on your behalf and pays out to you afterwards. For your costs, what counts most is what that means for your settlement and for who your contracting party is.

Why does my provider not publish a rate?

Because at volume it is negotiated, and a published rate takes that room away. Of the 82 participants, 26 publish a rate, forty do not and sixteen sell no acceptance to merchants. The consequence for you is that there is no reference point, and that you judge a quote against the only price you know: your own, from last year.

How do I work out what iDEAL really costs me?

Take twelve months of invoices, add up every line that hangs off iDEAL, so the per-transaction rate, the processing fee, the monthly fee, the refunds and any minimum invoice, and divide that by the number of iDEAL transactions in the same period. Lay that amount against the table above. If it differs by more than a few cents, there is money in it.

Can I switch provider without changing my business account?

Yes. Acceptance and bank account are two separate decisions, even if you once placed them with the same party. It is often the fastest correction in a payment set-up that has been running for years.

When can I renegotiate my iDEAL rate?

Whenever you want. A provider reprices as soon as the numbers give it reason to, and that is not tied to your renewal date. The moment that counts is that your volume, your payment mix or the market have changed since you last fixed the rate. Do check what your contract says about notice period and repricing, because that determines what you are tied to, not when you are allowed to open the conversation.

iDEAL, Wero and the scheme

Who owns iDEAL?

EPI, the European Payments Initiative. EPI completed its acquisition of Currence iDEAL B.V. and Payconiq International on 31 October 2023. The company still carries the name Currence iDEAL B.V. and still appears on ideal.nl as product and brand owner of iDEAL | Wero, but it has sat under EPI since that date. That is also why iDEAL is migrating to Wero.

How many iDEAL providers are there?

On 18 August 2026 the iDEAL participant list counts 22 acquirers and 63 collecting providers, 82 organisations in total, because Buckaroo, CM.com and Stripe appear in both roles. All of them are in the table on this page, with the model they price on alongside.

Does the move to Wero change my rate?

Not from the scheme. EPI has published that pricing stays in line with the current level of iDEAL and Wero through 31 December 2028. What comes after that has not been published. If you are quoted an increase before that date with the migration as the reason, that is a decision by your provider.

What happens to my iDEAL rate after 2028?

That has not been published. EPI has only committed to pricing staying in line with the current level through 31 December 2028. What comes after depends on where the scheme lands by then, and that is exactly why the term of your contract should be laid against that date now.

Next step

Checking what iDEAL costs you

Four things make the conversation concrete: twelve months of PSP invoices, the number of transactions per method, the distribution of your order values and what your contract says about notice period and repricing. That is enough to see within a week whether you are paying above the market and what a correction is worth in euros.
