Now travel on public transport with your wearable too

Traveling by public transport with only an OV-chipkaart? That’s a thing of the past with OVpay. The new way to pay for public transport: check in and out with your wearable!

Paying for public transport with your wearable
OVpay is the new way to check in and out on public transport in the Netherlands. You’re no longer tied to an OV-chipkaart, because you can choose how you check in and out. You can use a contactless debit card, credit card, mobile phone, or even a wearable!

OVpay was already available in many places in the Netherlands, and from this week, NS passengers can also check in with OVpay. The goal is for OVpay to be available for travel throughout the Netherlands by the end of March. Soon, traveling by public transport will be just as easy as paying for your groceries.

How does OVpay work?
Paying with OVpay works the same way as making a contactless payment in a shop. Hold your wearable against the card reader or gate to check in, and at your destination, check out by holding the same wearable against the card reader again. The OVpay app also lets you keep track of all your journeys. Add your wearable to the app and you can see exactly where you checked in and out with your wearable.
