If your nonprofit has (or plans to have) supporters in the Netherlands, offering iDEAL | Wero as a payment option will help you meet their preferences and encourage quick and convenient giving.
In this guide, I’ll take you through how iDEAL | Wero works, why it’s worth offering, and how you can start accepting iDEAL donations with Donorbox today.
iDEAL | Wero is a popular online payment method in the Netherlands that allows people to make payments directly from their bank accounts.
Formerly known as just iDEAL, the payment method began transitioning to its new name, iDEAL | Wero in 2026 – marking the beginning of its gradual move to Wero, a European payment solution designed to make payments across borders more convenient. Dutch consumers can continue using the solution as usual in the meantime.
Unlike credit/debit card payments, iDEAL | Wero doesn’t require donors to enter their card details. Instead, they selefct their bank at checkout and authorize the payment through their familiar online banking environment.
Offering familiar payment methods makes a huge difference to your donors’ experience. When someone is ready to support your cause, the last thing you want is for them to abandon their donation because they don’t recognize any trustworthy payment methods.
iDEAL is already widely used across the Netherlands. It accounted for 71% of all online purchased in the Netherlands in 2025.
With iDEAL | Wero, donors don’t need to spend an extra minute or two adding payment details when they feel motivated to give.
Donors simply contribute from their bank accounts without having to enter card numbers or other payment information.
They simply select their bank, authorize the payment through their banking app or online portal, and they’re done!
Every euro counts when you’re fundraising for your important mission.
iDEAL | Wero payments can come with lower processing fees than traditional card payments, depending on your organization’s location and payment processor.
For example, Stripe charges just €0.29 per iDEAL | Wero transaction in the Netherlands, compared to 1.5% + €0.25 for standard European Economic Area (EEA) card payments.
That means that a €100 donation would incur a Stripe processing fee of just €0.29 compared to €1.75 with a standard EEA card.
