OVpay is the new way of checking in and out on public transport in the Netherlands. With OVpay, you are no longer tied to an ov-chipcard, because you can choose how you check in and out. You can do this with a contactless debit card, credit card or via your mobile phone and ov-chipcard. Flexibility and convenience come first with OVpay. Whether you travel by bus, train, metro or tram, everything is possible.
How does it work?
As simple as payments in stores work these days, so does OVpay. When checking in, you hold the contactless debit card, credit card or smartphone against the card reader or gate and you are checked in. Checking out at the end of your journey works in exactly the same way. To avoid accidentally using a different debit card when checking in and out, it is recommended that you remove your card from your wallet.
