There are a number of ways to load your OV-chipkaart. You can choose automatic reloading, so that you never have to think about credit. Or you can load your card using a loading device at the station. Choose the most convenient option for you.
Automatic reload
You can choose automatic reloading on a personal OV-chipkaart. As soon as the credit drops below €5, an amount will automatically be transferred from your bank account to your OV-chipkaart. This means you always have enough credit to travel.
