Thread: Epoch Adds iDEAL for Dutch Payments

Epoch has added the iDEAL online payment system for processing Dutch payments using direct online transfers from a customer’s bank account.

iDEAL adds a direct link to systems of participating Dutch banks — including ABN, AMRO, Fortis, ING, Rabobank and SNS bank — to a website. At checkout, visitors can select the iDEAL payment button and choose their bank, which will take them to the banking environment they are familiar with to make a payment.

Payments are authorized and transferred to the merchant in real-time and cannot be reversed.

iDEAL processes transactions in real time using two-factor authentication, the consumer is using that system to authenticate directly with his or her bank, and the bank authenticates the transaction, that means no chargebacks.

Epoch clients can add iDEAL for no additional fee, and it does not require any special backend development.

It simply increases our clients sales. Clients who have opted to add iDEAL will automatically see it added as another payment option on their payment pages when we detect that the consumer is from The Netherlands. For those that want to link directly to an iDEAL payment page, we offer that option as well.

Please contact me at the numbers listed in my signature for further information about it.

This is a great move by epoch.

IDEAL is the payment of choice in Holland.

Just out of curiosity they they approach you guys or viceversa?

I think and hope that for WM there are no change to do.

No change to do, just need to ask your sales representative you wish to implement it.

Epoch should contact dialxs.com and get some volume wholesale deals or api's on ppc, ppcpm/countdown, sms, sms subscriptions, ivr, directdebit, recurring direct debit, etc.

Ideal is a great model. Are you planning to add GiroPAy which is the same model of iDeal but for the german market?
