Athletes from Europe and even outside of Europe participate in our competition. How can they pay online? They indicate that they cannot do so via iDeal.

iDeal is a Dutch payment method, from Dutch banks. It therefore does not work for banks outside the Netherlands.

Since February 25, 2020, Athletics.app supports multiple online payment methods, so that athletes with a non-Dutch account number can also easily pay online.

We currently support the following payment methods:

  • iDeal (Netherlands)
  • Bancontact (Belgium)
  • Belfius (Belgium)
  • KBC/CBC (Belgium)
  • ING HomePay (Belgium)
  • Giropay (Germany)
  • EPS (Austria)
  • Sofort (All over Europe)
  • Przelewy24 (Poland)
We consciously support these payment methods and not credit cards or PayPal payments. Credit cards and PayPal are currently still quite susceptible to fraud and chargebacks occur with some regularity. To protect competition organizers, we only support payment methods where payment is guaranteed and cannot be charged back by the registrant.
 
All you have to do as a competition organization is check the box to accept iDeal as a payment method (via the right-hand drop-down menu --> Online registration settings). All of the above payment methods will then be automatically activated for registrants.
