iDEAL – Competitor Profile
iDEAL – a market leader in Dutch third-party payment services – was established by payment systems provider Currence in 2005. iDEAL offers online payments for Dutch domestic and international shoppers, enabling them to pay for online purchases directly from their bank accounts. iDEAL also enables consumers to carry out other transactions such as utility bill payments, mobile recharging, and donations. It generates business by offering four types of transactions: domestic ecommerce payments, cross-border ecommerce payments, payments between consumers, and non-ecommerce payments.
Payments through iDEAL are supported by 12 issuing banks and financial institutions: ABN AMRO, ASN Bank, bunq, ING, Knab, Rabobank, RegioBank, Revolut, SNS Bank, Triodos Bank, Van Lanschot, and Yoursafe. In addition to issuing banks, the solution is supported by 13 acquiring banks and 45 payment institutions known as collecting payment services providers (CPSPs). CPSPs act as intermediaries between acquirers and merchants. Of the 45 CPSPs, 20 are international service providers. They allow Dutch consumers to pay for online purchases from foreign online merchants in more than 60 markets globally.
In April 2023, the European Payments Initiative (an organization featuring several of Europe’s key banks and financial institutions) confirmed its plan to acquire iDEAL and Luxembourg-based payment solutions provider Payconiq International as part of its efforts to develop a Europe-wide instant payment system.

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”
Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.
Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.
