Mobile first for Dutch online payment scheme iDEAL in 2018

Seven in ten iDEAL payments are made on mobile devices

Amsterdam, 07 Februari 2019 /EZPress/ - By the end of 2017, more iDEAL payments were made on tablets and smartphones than on laptops and desktops. In December 2017, 54.8% of all iDEAL payments were made with an app for mobile banking. Last year, the share of mobile iDEAL payments jumped to 69.5%, partly thanks to the rapidly increasing popularity of mobile person-to-person payments. In December 2018, 17.5% of all iDEAL payments came from C2C payments, mainly through payment requests (“pull payments”) with mobile apps from banks such as Tikkie.
