## Editorial score: 4.5 / 10

## The review

Doneerveilig is a Dutch donation crowdfunding platform built around personal fundraising, letting people start a campaign to realise a dream, wish, or need. It is based in Amersfoort, in the Netherlands, and positions itself on security and ease of setup, with organisers able to create a campaign in minutes. Its emphasis is on safe handling of donations rather than on a broad feature set.

Payments are processed in partnership with Online Betaalplatform, and donations are held on a third-party escrow account (derdengeldenrekening) before being paid out. The platform highlights that it operates under the PSD2 regulations supervised by De Nederlandsche Bank, which it presents as a distinguishing trust signal. Organisers verify their account via a one-cent micro-transfer, and a platform contribution plus a fixed per-donation amount is deducted from donations before payout.

Doneerveilig's clearest strengths are its security framing — PSD2 compliance, escrow handling, and SSL — and its straightforward setup for individual causes. The trade-offs are a narrow feature set and limited payment choice: donors can pay only by iDEAL or Bancontact, the interface is Dutch-only, and donations are described as final and non-refundable. For Dutch individuals who value the security framing and a simple campaign, it fits well; organisers wanting broad payment options, recurring giving, or international reach should look elsewhere.

Donations are accepted via iDEAL and Bancontact, covering Dutch and Belgian donors. Funds flow through the escrow account and are paid out on a weekly basis to the verified organiser. The platform's privacy statement names its payment processor and describes its security measures, but it does not state where personal data is stored.
