iDEAL in3 for consumers

What is iDEAL in3?

in3 is going to cooperate with iDEAL. This means you can now pay for your orders in three equal parts, without interest, with our new payment method iDEAL in3. iDEAL in3 is a separate payment method in a web shop's checkout.  

The availability of iDEAL in3 is limited for now and is expected to become available at many online stores later this year. At some web shops, you will still be able to pay with in3 instead of iDEAL in3.

How does iDEAL in3 work?

With iDEAL in3, you pay for your order in three equal instalments at 0% interest.  

At checkout, choose iDEAL in3 in the checkout. A check takes place within a split second. After approval, you immediately pay the first part, which is equal to one third of the purchase amount, via iDEAL. You will then receive a reminder from us to make the second payment within 30 days and to pay the last part within 60 days. And all this at no extra cost!
