Errors and problems
I am a Dutch citizen living abroad. I tried to set up the app, eventually succeeded. Not after many frustrating errors like “something went wrong on our end” and endless re-sending of verification codes
You need a Dutch address to have the “OV pas” sent to. Well, that’s a problem for me. But you can use a credit card as pass. This is as frustrating as the luggage rules of an airline.
In trying to set up the credit card a browser window was opened outside the app, and I was greeted by a 403 Forbidden browser error. Likely the gateway only accepts IP traffic from within the region.
Some questions and remarks:
- why not allow the pass to be sent abroad? Charge a shipping fee if you have to.
- but really: why not have a virtual transit pass on the phone? Phones have been capable of NFC for years
- check your IP gating, your security measures are failing users from abroad
I have also signed up for a Belgian transit pass. A world of difference, super easy and none of the headaches.

Broken for me
Falls at the first step. I get a 403 forbidden message when I try to add a card - that might actually allow me to use the app.
Absolutely awful
No-one can ever have tested this garbage before vomiting it out to the public. Avoid this and just tap your credit card
Useless
Useless app, can’t add debit card.
