Buy a Proxy With iDEAL

As a widely accepted platform throughout the Netherlands, iDEAL has particular benefits when buying proxies.

Immediate processing

Using iDEAL for payments is instantaneous, meaning that transactions do not remain “pending” for any length of time. This speedy processing is beneficial for online recurring subscriptions so that there’s no service interruption.

iDEAL will withdraw funds directly from your bank account, and you’ll get immediate feedback on your payment.

Two-factor authentication for security

iDEAL uses two-factor authentication (2FA) to help maintain transaction privacy. As long as your bank supports 2FA, you will need to enter a code from a second device to verify log-ins and transactions.

While it might take a few extra seconds to verify your actions using 2FA, the increased security goes a long way to protect your financial data. If your device is ever lost or stolen, your account will still be protected by the 2FA code.

While iDEAL has many advantages over credit cards, there are a few negatives worth noting.

Treated like cash at most banks

iDEAL interfaces directly with your bank account for most payments. Although the direct link offers you increased speed, it also means that most banks will treat the transaction like cash, offering no financial protection.

No recourse during outages

The technical nature of the iDEAL platform means that when there is an outage or unexpected difficulties, there’s no secondary way to complete your transaction. While the same could be said for other platforms, it might be good to prepare a backup means of payment.
