On the train, bus, tram and metro; Travelers everywhere in the Netherlands can check in and out with their contactless debit card, credit card or mobile phone. Very useful if you occasionally travel by public transport. Checking in and out is done in the same way as with a OV chip card. 

How does check-in and check-out work?

1. Check in with your contactless debit card, credit card or your debit card on your mobile. Take your card out of your wallet. This way you know for sure which pass you are checking in with.
2. Are you getting out? Then you check out with the same card you checked in with. Once again, you take the card out of your wallet when checking out.
3. Your payment is automatic. The next day you will see the amount in your payment overview with the description NLOV. The price for your trip is the same as traveling with your OV chip card without a discount or subscription.
4. Would you like to view the travel costs for that day? Enter the 14 numbers and letters behind NLOV and the amount debited on this page.
