I agree to the General terms and conditions automatic reloading (pdf). I provide Trans Link Systems B.V. (TLS) with permission to send recurrent collection instructions to your bank to debit an amount from your account. And I provide authorisation to your bank to debit recurrent amounts from your account in accordance with the instructions from TLS. This will take place no later than 15 days after TLS receives the transaction to add to your balance through automatic reloading. If you do not agree with this collection, you can reverse it. To do this, contact your bank within eight weeks of the debit. Ask your bank for the terms and conditions.

With automatic reloading, you will always have sufficient credit to use your OV-chipkaart. If you do not have enough credit to pay the boarding fare or journey price, an amount will automatically be added to your card. This will then be debited from your bank account within 15 days.

When applying for automatic reloading, you will provide a recurrent authorisation. You will pay for your OV-chipkaart via iDEAL. By doing this, you also provide us with authorisation for automatic reloading. If you would like to pay for your card with PayPal, due to the verification of the bank-account number, it will not be possible to apply for automatic reloading.
