OVpay: checking in and out with your debit card
Easily check in and out with your contactless debit card, credit card or mobile. It is not necessary to create an account, so it is ideal for those who occasionally travel by public transport. You don't have to buy a regular ticket or add balance to your OV-chipcard. Choose what suits you best!
How it works
Check in:
Hold your contactless debit card, credit card or mobile against the card reader. Remove your card from your wallet to prevent another card from being scanned as well.
Check out using the same card or payment app:
A digital debit card (on your phone) will be seen by the card reader as a different card from your physical debit card, even if they are linked to the same account.
Everyone uses their own debit or credit card:
You cannot check in more than one person at a time with one card.
Forgot to check out?

Costs and subscriptions
- Standard 2nd class: The price is the same as travelling with an OV-chip card and cheaper than buying a paper ticket from the bus driver.
- Age discount: Are you 65+? Add 34% age discount to your debit card and benefit from discount on bus, tram and metro. More about age discounts.
- Region advantage: In certain regions you can turn on free advantage products, such as Transdev Voordeel or Connexxion Voordeel. You can do this easily in the @Transdev app or via your myTransdev account.
- Students and other season tickets: Do you use a student travel product or another public transport subscription on your OV-chipcard? Then you will still travel with your OV-chipcard for the time being.
View your journeys and create a statement of expenses
- Via the @Transdev app: Link your payment card and view all your journeys with Transdev, Connexxion, Bravo and Breng.
- Via the OVpay trip summary: Enter the 14-digit code (behind ‘NLOV’ in your bank statement) and the amount debited to see your travel details.
- Claiming travel expense? Easily create an overview of your claims, including VAT percentages, which can also be used by your employer. See how to do this here.
