About OVpay OVpay is a collaboration between Translink, all major Dutch banks, and Dutch public transport operators: Arriva, EBS, GVB, HTM, Keolis, NS, Qbuzz, RET, and Transdev. This is the accompanying app for OVpay. With OVpay, you can check in and out with your contactless card or phone instead of an OV-chipkaart.
