OVpay is the new way to check in and out on public transport. Check in with your contactless debit card, credit card or mobile.

In the 16 years since the OV-chipkaart was introduced, better and more reliable techniques have been developed. New ways of paying are also being added. Think of the debit card, travel on GPS, credit card or mobile. The current OV-chipkaart will eventually make way for a new OV-chipkaart with new technology. For the time being, everyone can simply check in and out with the familiar OV-chipkaart.

All public transport companies in the Netherlands are participating, but the introduction date varies per carrier. HTM started in autumn 2022. An up-to-date overview of all participating public transport companies can be found at www.ovpay.nl

A fine (official report) will be issued if you cannot show a valid ticket at ticket control. You pay €50 for the fine. Another € 6 will be charged for a travel card, which allows you to travel for 2 hours on HTM buses and trams (not valid on HTM Nachtbus).

The amount of € 56,00 must be paid within 21 days by bank transfer. When drawing up the fine, the ticket inspector will ask for valid proof of identity. It is possible to object to the fine.

• Pay the fine of €56.00 within 21 days by bank transfer. Transfer the amount to account number NL71 INGB 0000 0088 30, in the name of HTM Verhoogd Tarief Rekening. Please note: Please state the number of the Ride Out card and/or the full report number with the transfer. This will avoid extra costs such as a payment reminder or the use of a collection agency.
• Please note: after 21 days, the amount of the fine is increased by administration costs. If the fine is not paid within 28 days, the report will be transferred to our collection agency or the public prosecutor.

This is certainly possible. Within 14 days of the day of violation, you can object to a fine (official report). To do this, send a letter or e-mail to HTM with facts showing that you received the fine unjustly and can prove that there were circumstances that the inspector did not take into account.

Please note: HTM will only consider the objection if the fine is paid within 14 days.

More information

You can always object to a fine; this makes sense if you:

• Can tell why you received the fine unfairly;
• Can prove that there were circumstances the inspector did not take into account;
• Respond within 14 days of the day of violation and have paid the fine.

HTM will only consider a deposit if the fine has been paid before the objection is made.

There is no point objecting if you:

• Did not check in;
• Checked in too late;
• Had no balance on your OV-chipkaart;
• Travelled with someone else's personal OV-chipkaart;
• Had no or not enough (coin) money to buy a ticket;
• OV-chipkaart was broken or damaged, so the card could not be read;
• Appeared to have misused the HTM Ticket App during the inspection.

Did you receive a fine despite having a prepaid season ticket because you did not have your OV-chipkaart with you or forgot to check in?

If you did have a season ticket on your OV-chipkaart at the time of the trip, you can submit a request for goodwill (coulance form) to get the amount of the fine paid back from HTM.

Please note: this can be done a maximum of 3 times a year.

Did you receive a fine despite having a prepaid season ticket because you did not have your OV-chipkaart with you or forgot to check in?

If you did have a season ticket on your OV-chipkaart at the time of the trip, you can submit a request for coulance (goodwill) to get the amount of the fine paid back from HTM.

Please note: this can be done a maximum of 3 times a year.

After paying the fine, enter the coulance form. The process will now start.

1. Pay the fine within 14 days by bank transfer.
2. Fill in the coulance form.
3. An HTM employee will assess the request. If all conditions are found to be met, the fine will be cancelled. The amount paid will be refunded.

Terms and conditions: the goodwill scheme only works if you pay and register the fine within 14 days using the coulance form. Do you miss this deadline? Then this regulation no longer applies. It is also checked whether the identification shown at the time the fine was issued was valid. 

No. A reminder letter will be sent home 7 days after the fine is issued, indicating that the fine has not yet been paid. If the fine is paid before these 7 days we will not send a letter.
