Since its founding in 2012, Bitonic has become the most popular local exchange in the Netherlands.

In addition to iDEAL payments, Bitonic also supports Bancontact, Giropay, and Mybank.

Buying Bitcoin directly with an iDEAL transfer is very simple. It's the first option when you land on Bitonic's homepage.

After choosing the amount you wish to buy, you'll be taken to the following page.

There are no additional fees, the price you see is the price you will pay.

One of Bitonic's best features is that you can have the Bitcoin you purchase deposited directly to your own wallet, which cuts down the amount of time it spends on risky exchanges.

Note that you will have to verify that this wallet address belongs to you. You can do this by uploading a screenshot from within the wallet client, or by signing a message with your key. This was introduced recently (under protest from Bitonic) after a mandate from the Dutch Central Bank.

iDEAL is an online payment method that functions as a direct transfer from your bank to the merchant. The transaction is carried out within your bank's secure environment, meaning your credentials are not shared with anyone else.

Transactions are confirmed or rejected instantly, so you won't be waiting days to know if your payment has gone through.

iDEAL was founded in the Netherlands in 2005 and is hugely popular in that country. iDEAL payments account for more than half of all online transactions in the Netherlands.

Participating banks include ABN AMRO, ASN Bank, bunq, Friesland Bank, Handelsbanken, ING Bank, Knab, Moneyou, Rabobank, RegioBank, SNS, Triodos Bank, Van Lanschot, and De Volksbank.

Revolut users in the Netherlands can also make payments with iDEAL.

As there is no ability to initiate a chargeback, there are sellers who are willing to accept it in return for Bitcoin. As a buyer, though, this is something to keep in mind.

Binance, Bitonic, Luno, and Bitpanda all allow you to fund your account using iDEAL transfers. Let's take a look at each of their offerings.
