What is OVpay?
OVpay is an initiative of all the carriers in the Netherlands: Arriva, Connexxion, EBS, GVB, HTM, Keolis, NS, Qbuzz, RET, and Transdev together with Translink. And it operates in cooperation with Dutch banks.

This app is part of OVpay; In addition to your ‘OV-chipkaart’ you can currently also check in and out with your debit card, credit card or mobile phone.

Privacy
Ovpay lets you choose the way you check in and out. However to do this, sometimes we need more information from you. We believe it’s important that you decide for yourself how your personal data is used. And by whom. Our privacy statement (www.ovpay.nl/privacy) explains how we handle your personal data.

Ratings and reviews

App works well for an expense report. To the developers: you really need to fix the list in the trips tab. Either the views are not getting recycled or you simply have too much work going on in the viewHolder's onBind. Scrolling through it is painful at the moment. Now when selecting expenses you can't click on the checkbox, or the text, only if you click on the row does it work. Probably incorrectly setup click listeners.

Tried to use the app because my OV card was recently expired (I don't travel often) and it seemed like an intuitive new thing. When I want to add my debit card to the app though, it keeps sending me to the credit card form instead. I would appreciate if this could be fixed. Until then, I suppose I will just travel by ticket purchase.

App doesn't work. Went through the full registration including making a picture for 65+ discount, transferred 1 eurocent to TransLink to verify the bank account nbr. As a test, I made a short trip yesterday and ended up 2 'Public Transportation stop' actions in Google Wallet (never a start one) and the amount was deducted from my bank account without the 65+ discount. Bottom line, the app is useless.

What's new

We tweaked some things that are probably too small to notice. But the app should work a bit better now.
