Frequently asked questions

A free NS-Business Card. How does it work?

Ordering an NS-Business Card is free. You pay nothing for the card. If you don't use the card, you don't pay anything. Only when you use the card or put a subscription on it will the costs be charged on a monthly invoice.

I only travel by train a few times a year. Is it still an interesting option?

The NS‑Business Card is also very interesting if you only travel a few times a year. There are no fixed costs associated with the card and you only pay for the trips made. If you don't travel, you don't pay.

How can I tell whether I will save money with a subscription on my NS-Business Card?

If you can travel outside peak hours, an NS-Business Card with a Dal (meaning: off-peak) subscription is an economical choice. You will often have recouped the costs of the Dal subscription after 4 trips during off-peak hours. Do you often travel on a fixed route? Then it may be cheaper to add a Traject Vrij subscription to your NS-Business Card. With the Keuzehulp you can determine whether a subscription is a good choice for you and if so, which subscription it is.

Changing classes (temporarily)

You can easily change classes in the NS app, Mijn NS Zakelijk or the NS ticket machine? For 1 trip, all day long, for a fixed period time, or permanently.

Change classes up to 15 minutes after you check in via the NS app

You can change classes before or after you check in, provided you do so within 15 minutes of checking in.

The change is only valid on NS trains.

You can make and reverse the change several times a day.

You can also change back using the NS app.

The app will show you whether you have an active class change.

Please note that you will not see your class change on check-in posts, gates or ticket machines. Even conductors cannot see class changes.

In the NS app, go to ‘Mijn NS’ to see your NS-Business Card and options, including ‘changing class’.

Download the NS-app.

Changing classes with Mijn NS Zakelijk

You have three options: an open-ended class change, a class change for today only, or a class change for a specific date/time.

You can request a class change 24 hours a day by going to Mijn NS Zakelijk.

Make sure to change classes before checking in.

The change is only valid on NS trains.

In Mijn NS Zakelijk, you can see whether there is an active class change.

You cannot cancel the change on an NS ticket machine.

Please note that you will not see your class change on check-in posts, gates or ticket machines. Even conductors cannot see class changes.

Go to Mijn NS Zakelijk.

Changing classes on the ticket machine

Follow the instructions on the ticket machine.

Any class changes made on the ticket machine will automatically remain valid until 4:00 the following morning. You can also reverse class changes on the machine.

Do I have to activate my NS-Business Card before using it?

Whether you have ordered an NS-Business Card with or without a subscription; you do not need to activate this before use. Easy!

Missed check-in or check-out

Missed check-in

If you realise that you forgot to check in with your NS-Business Card right after passing the check-in gates or posts, try to check in anyway before you board the train. If you do not check in in advance, you may be charged a correction fee, depending on your season ticket. Make sure to check in and out at all times. Remember to check in at the right check-in post or gate: if you’re travelling with NS, check in with NS; if you’re travelling with Arriva, check in with Arriva. When checking in, make sure to do so at the right side of the gate. If you’re already on the train when you realise that you forgot to check in, please let the conductor know.

Missed check-out

No need to worry! As standard, the Missed Check-out Service is enabled on all our cards. We’ll automatically correct your missed check-out if we’re confident we know where your trip with NS ended. To find out, we might look at your next check-in. If we can determine where your trip ended, we’ll change the fare accordingly and send you an e-mail. If we’re not sure where your trip ended, we’ll also send you an e-mail so you can correct your trip yourself in Mijn NS Zakelijk. You can correct up to 5 missed check-outs per NS-Business Card per calendar year. Automatic corrections made by the Missed Check-out Service or manual corrections made in Mijn NS Zakelijk or the NS app all count. After 5 corrected check-outs, you’ll no longer receive a notification, and only the NS Zakelijk Customer Service Department will be able to correct your missed check-out. NS is not required to honour your request. Please note: the Missed Check-out Service only works with NS trips.
