For iDEAL payments or direct bank transfers—commonly used for local transactions in Westland—there is no standard chargeback option. Inquire with your bank, but success is not guaranteed. Credit cards therefore provide better safeguards for our municipality's residents.

Misusing chargeback by filing an unjustified claim constitutes fraud and may result in your card being blocked. If unsure about your rights, contact Het Juridisch Loket Westland or the Rechtbank Westland for legal support.
