I agree. From what I understood, the Dutch iDeal system (which I love) might become a European standard. It doesn’t cover large parts of the world but I think the fees are not as “insane” as PayPal or systems like this.

What can you tell me about iDeal's privacy aspects? Does it allow anonymous transactions (here it mght make sense to distinguish between

- non-anonymous entity sends money to anonymous entity

- anonymous entity sends money to non-anonymous entity

- anonymous entity sends money to anonymous entity;

"anonymous" is here to be understood as "anonymous to iDeal", i.e. iDeal has no practical chance of de-anonymizing this identity)?

As far as I know only the Merchant and your account is known to iDeal, not what you buy.
