OVpay: a new way to check in and out of public transport

If you occasionally travel by public transport, you’ll love OVpay. With it, you can easily check in using your contactless card, phone, or smartwatch — no extra cards to carry! There's no need to top up a balance, and setup is a breeze. Simply check in and out right away. And the best part? It now supports age-based discounts.

How it works

It’s simple! Just hold your contactless debit or credit card, or your phone, to the card reader to check in or out — just like you would with your OV-chipkaart. Easy as that!

Planning to use OVpay? Here’s what you need to know:

  • Ensure you have sufficient funds in your account.
  • You can use the app to track travel expenses and apply age-based discounts.
  • Always use the same contactless card or device to check in and out. For example, if you check in with your smartwatch, make sure to check out with it as well.
  • Be careful not to check in twice. This can happen if your wallet contains both a contactless card and an OV-chipkaart. If you accidentally check in twice, you can easily adjust your trip at www.zelfregelen.ovpay.nl.
