What is the difference between iDEAL 1.0 and 2.0?

iDEAL 2.0: Enabling New Features and Functionalities

• New Infrastructure: iDEAL 2.0 introduces a revamped infrastructure designed to streamline the payment process. Payment providers will transition from maintaining separate connections with individual banks to utilizing a single connection to the iDEAL Hub. This new infrastructure also features a centralized payment page for bank selection.
• iDEAL Profile: With the iDEAL profile, customers can effortlessly save their delivery details and preferred payment accounts through their bank. This information can be shared to complete orders and payments in a single step. Additionally, customers have the flexibility to authorize payments using a QR code, the iDEAL payment page, or customer recognition in their banking app.
• Upcoming iDEAL Services: iDEAL has several value-added services planned for the near future, including a fast checkout option and improved recognition for returning customers.
