Say you want to buy some Bitcoin this weekend, and your money sits in a Dutch bank account. With iDEAL, that is all you need. You pick your bank and approve the payment in your banking app. Your crypto follows.
This guide walks through the steps and what to expect along the way. It also explains the limit and the cost. A short section covers the coins you can buy.
How Do You Buy Crypto with iDEAL, Step by Step?
You buy crypto with iDEAL in six short steps. Everything happens in the Paybis widget and your own banking app. Bitcoin is the usual starting point, and the steps stay the same for other coins.
- Log in to Paybis or create an account. New accounts include a quick ID check, which you complete before you pay.
- Choose the coin and the amount. Type the amount in euros. The widget shows how much crypto you will receive.
- Tell Paybis where to send it. Paste a wallet address or select the Paybis Wallet.
- Select iDEAL as the payment method. Look for it in the list of payment methods.
- Pick your bank. Choose it from the list. Paybis then sends you to your bank to approve the payment.
- Confirm in your banking app. Check the amount one more time and approve.
Paybis lists up to five minutes for most iDEAL purchases. Some purchases need extra checks and take a little longer.
Take a moment on the summary screen before step six. Crypto payments cannot be reversed, so a quick look at the amount and the wallet address is worth it.
What Are the iDEAL Limits on Paybis?
You can pay up to €50,000 in a single payment with iDEAL. The limit applies to each payment. It is a generous ceiling, and you do not need to come near it. Many buyers start small.
Say you want to buy €300 of Bitcoin. That sits comfortably inside the limit. Say you plan a much larger purchase of €20,000. That fits too, provided your verification level and your bank allow it.
Two other limits can apply. Your verification level on Paybis sets one. Your bank may set its own daily cap on online payments. Check your banking app before a large purchase, so the payment does not stall at the final step.

What Does It Cost to Buy Crypto with iDEAL?
You can see the fee for an iDEAL purchase on the widget. It shows the total before you confirm, so you see the final amount before your bank gets involved.
That order matters. You see the price before you decide. Nothing moves until you approve in your banking app.
Moving coins to another wallet later can carry a network fee. Blockchains charge it for processing the transfer. For the full breakdown of what Paybis charges, see our fee transparency page.
Which Coins Can You Buy with iDEAL?
You can buy Bitcoin with iDEAL, and other coins as well. Pick the one that fits what you want to do.
Bitcoin is the original cryptocurrency and the usual starting point. Thousands of computers around the world keep its ledger. That is why many people call it digital money without a central bank. New to the idea? Our guide explains how Bitcoin works.
Ethereum is a blockchain that runs apps as well as payments. Its coin, Ether, pays for activity on that network. You can buy Ethereum with iDEAL in the same widget.
Bitcoin Cash split from Bitcoin in 2017. It uses larger blocks and aims at everyday payments.
The steps stay the same for every coin. You select a different one in step two. Prices move, so choose an amount you are comfortable with.
What Does iDEAL | Wero Mean at Checkout?
iDEAL | Wero is the co-branded name now shown on Dutch checkouts. Since early 2026, Dutch banks and shops have been adding the Wero name beside iDEAL. Wero is a European payment platform from the European Payments Initiative.
On Paybis, nothing about your payment changes. You pick your bank and approve the payment in your banking app. If you spot the combined logo, you are in the right place.
Is iDEAL a Safe Way to Buy Crypto?
Each iDEAL payment is approved in your own bank’s environment. You log in on your bank’s side and confirm with your bank’s own method. That keeps the sensitive part of the payment with the people who already hold your account.
The risks that remain sit elsewhere. Crypto payments cannot be reversed, and a wrong wallet address can mean lost coins. Copy the address from your wallet app. Then check the start and the end of the address before you confirm.
Start from the Paybis app or paybis.com. If a message pushes you to pay in a hurry, stop and check the link. A small initial purchase is a calm way to learn the flow.
Where Does Your Crypto Go After You Pay?
Your crypto goes to the wallet address you entered at checkout. A wallet address works like an account number for crypto. Anyone can send to it. The wallet owner alone can spend from it.
Prefer to keep things in one place? Choose the Paybis Wallet in step three. Your coins then sit in the Paybis app, ready to send later. Want full control? Paste the address of a wallet you manage yourself.
