With iDEAL it's safe and easy to pay online. iDEAL is the system that connects you directly to your internet banking program when shopping online. For using iDEAL you don't need to register or to download any files.

When using internet banking of ABN AMRO, ASN Bank, Friesland Bank, ING, Rabobank, RegioBank, SNS Bank, Triodos Bank or Van Lanschot Bankiers you can pay directly with iDEAL. You will pay easy and fast within a trusted environment of your own bank. So paying like you are used to.

Also Maestro, Mastercard and Visa charge for their services 2.8% accross the order value. VSAT-shop charges these extra costs as well.

Yes, you can also pay with rewarding points within the online shop of VSAT-shop.


  I get an error message when paying with iDEAL in combination with ABNAMRO and Google Chrome. ("This site is blokked for the unsafe execution of a plugin").

Unfortunately there's no solution available for this problem. ABNAMRO could not give any solution to this. Other banks doesn't have this problem. Please try to use another browser (for instance Internet Explorer) for ordering at our shop.
