GVB public transport is cashless

OVpay is the new and easy way of paying in public transport. In the tram, bus or metro you simply check in and out with your debit card, credit card or mobile phone.
You can check in and out with the following cards:

• contactless payment cards from ABN AMRO, ASN Bank, Bunq, Knab, ING, Rabobank, Regiobank or SNS;
• a Mastercard or Visa contactless credit card (a.o. issued by ICS);
• a mobile phone that is linked to one of the aforementioned debit and credit cards for contactless payment. Also with Apple Pay and Google Wallet. 
• a foreign contactless debit or credit card from Maestro, V PAY, Mastercard or Visa.

There are cards that are not yet suitable for OVpay, such as the debit card from Triodos and Van Lanschot. If your pass is not suitable, you will receive the message Pay Different / card not suitable for public transport.

Travelling with an OV-chipkaart is of course also possible. You can only buy a ticket in the tram from the conductor and pay with a debit or credit card. This can be done contactless or with a pin.
You can also pay for your travel on the North Sea channel ferries with a PIN payment card or contactless. You can pay using one of the following cards: V-pay, Maestro, VISA, Mastercard, JCB, Diners Club, Union Pay, and American Express.
