How it works
You can check in and out with your contactless card or phone anytime. No need to apply or set anything up beforehand – it's that simple! Here's how OVpay works.
Step by step
- Check in and out with your debit or credit card, just like you did with your OV-chipkaart.
- At the end of the day, all your trips are charged to your account.
- View your journeys and costs in the OVpay app.
Tip: Take the card you want to check in or out with out of your wallet. This helps avoid checking in or out with the wrong or multiple cards.
