NS-Business Card
When is the NS Business Card the right choice for me?
If you are a ZZP'er or responsible for the mobility of employees within your organization. In that case, you can apply for NS Business Cards for each employee or a group.  
You really don't have to use public transport daily for this. Our card also offers added value if you or your employees work hybrid: at the office and at home. And occasionally travel by other means of transport such as a shared car or OV-fiets. Even then you save time and money on administration. 
Read more about the possibilities here
What are the benefits of the NS-Business Card?
  • Less administration because you no longer have separate travel declarations. 
  • Extra flexible door-to-door travel with one card. One day the train and OV-fiets are most convenient, the other day the shared car, metro or bus.
  • Pay monthly in arrears via a VAT invoice, suitable for the tax authorities. You do not need to load more balance with the NS-Business Card.
  • No fixed costs, but only pay for the trips you make. No travel = no payment.
  • You can order the NS-Business Card for free.
Tip: do you regularly travel outside rush hour or on a specific route? A subscription offers you extra benefits.

Wat kost een NS-Business Card?
Een NS-Business Card is gratis. Kies je het basis abonnement, dan betaal je alleen maandelijks achteraf voor de reizen die je maakt. Je hebt dus geen abonnementskosten.
Reis je vaker met het openbaar vervoer, dan is het toevoegen van een abonnement aan je kaart voordelig. Hier zijn maandelijkse kosten aan verbonden. Benieuwd naar de verschillende abonnementen? Ontdek het hier.
Traveling with the free NS-Business Card. How does it work?
You order and use an NS-Business Card for free. You pay nothing for the card. And if you do not travel (and therefore do not use the card), you pay nothing either.
With our card you can travel by train, bus, tram and metro. And - if your employer gives permission - you can use our other door-to-door services, such as a Greenwheels shared car, OV-fiets or Check's electric scooter.
You travel on account, so you do not have to pay anything up front. Your employer will receive a monthly invoice for your travel.
More on the NS-Business Card
Do I need to add balance on my NS-Business Card?
No, in contrast to the OV-chipkaart you do not need to top up your balance on an NS-Business Card. Your organisation will receive an invoice every month for your travel.
Did you add balance to your NS-Business Card anyway? Then unfortunately your card is no longer working properly. Go to the NS desk at the station to get your balance back or to top it up to € 0.00. Then your NS-Business Card will work again, of course only if the card is still valid.
How can I request one or more NS-Business Cards online? And what do I need?
You can order a maximum of 5 NS-Business Cards online at the same time. After your first order, you can add/order unlimited cards in Mijn NS Zakelijk.
Important to know: to order online, you must be able to make an IDEAL payment of € 0.01 for verification.
Do you want to order more than 5 NS-Business Cards immediately? Then use the application form.
What is the delivery time of an NS-Business Card?
If you have ordered an NS-Business Card, it will be delivered by mail within 14 days at the latest.
The NS-Business Card with or without subscription. How does it work?
The NS-Business Card is a travel card with which you check in and out in public transport and at our door-to-door services. Your employer receives the invoice afterwards. It is not a subscription (because you only pay for the journeys you make): it is a card that you use to travel.
Do you regularly travel by train on the same route? Or outside peak hours? Then a subscription is almost always more advantageous. Your employer can easily add a subscription to your NS-Business Card. This is completely optional and flexible to activate, change or cancel.
With an NS-Business Card without subscription you can travel just like with an OV-chipkaart, only you will not get a discount on the fare.

I'm a cardholder. What should I do when my NS-Business Card expires?
An NS-Business Card has a validity of 5 years. If you are an entrepreneur, you will receive a new card approximately 3.5 weeks before the expiry date. Check the advice below to receive the right card on time and at the right address.
1. Check your address in Mijn NS Zakelijk
We will send your new NS-Business Card to your private address or to the contact person of your organisation. Is your private address still listed correctly in Mijn NS Zakelijk? Do you not know whether you will receive your card at home or at work? Ask the contact person within your company.
2. If necessary, send a new passport photo
Do you have a Trein Vrij or Traject Vrij subscription? Then your NS-Business Card contains a passport photo. If you have given permission for the passport photo to be saved, you do not need to do anything. Did you not do so? Then we will send you a request to provide a new passport photo 8 weeks before the expiry date. A few weeks later, we will send you a reminder as an extra service. Please note: without a valid photo, we cannot renew your card and you cannot travel with your NS Business Card!
Any questions?
Go to the NS contact person within your organisation. Or check our FAQ's on card renewal.
For urgent questions, contact our Customer Services 24 hours a day at +31 30 - 300 11 11.
My NS-Business Card has expired. What should I do with this card?
If your NS-Business Card has expired, cut it and throw it away. We will send a new NS-Business Card to your address. You don't have to apply for these. Nor do you have to pay for it.
Want to make sure the new card arrives safely? Check your address details in Mijn NS Zakelijk under 'Personal information' and change them immediately if necessary.
My NS-Business Card is stolen, lost or damaged. What should I do?
It is unfortunate that your NS-Business Card has been stolen, lost or damaged. If you are self-employed, you can block the card in Mijn NS Zakelijk and apply for a replacement card ('duplicate'). If you have an NS-Business Card as an employee of an organization, please check within your organization who is allowed to apply for a replacement card: yourself or the NS contact person.
Apply for a replacement card ('duplicate') as follows:
  1. Log in to Mijn NS Zakelijk for cardholders with your business e-mail address.
  2. Go to 'My NS-Business Card'.
  3. Under 'Arrange directly' you will see a button 'NS Business Card stolen, lost or damaged? Request a duplicate'. Clicking this will automatically block your card.
  4. Follow the steps to request a new (duplicate) card until you see the confirmation with the reference number of the order.
You will receive your new NS-Business Card within 10 days at the address you have provided.
Compensation for temporary travel
It is important that you can continue to travel, even if you are waiting for a replacement card. If you had an NS-Business Card with a subscription, we will compensate the trips you make from the moment you applied for a new card until the moment you receive this card. You can submit the costs for e.g. single tickets or travel with your OV-chipkaart using this form. Under 'Reden van declaratie' select 'Verloren of gestolen abonnement'.
The NS-Business Card of one of our employees is stolen, lost or damaged. What should I do?

  2. Go to 'Manage cards and cardholders' and search for the cardholder in question.
  3. Click on the card number to block and replace the card.
  4. Under 'Arrange directly' you will see a button 'NS-Business Card stolen, lost or damaged? Request a duplicate'. Clicking this will automatically block your card.
  5. Follow the steps to request a new (duplicate) card until you see the confirmation with the reference number of the order.
  6. You will receive the replacement card within 10 working days at the address indicated.
I have found an NS Business Card. What now?
Try sending the person whose NS-Business Card it is a message via social media. If this doesn't work or you don't get a response, cut the card in half and throw it away.
I forgot to check out. What should I do?
No need to worry! We have enabled our Missed Check-out Service on all our cards by default.
If we can predict where your trip ended:
We’ll change the fare automatically 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. Corrections can be made up to six months after the date of travel.
5 corrections per year
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. After that, 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.
For which NS-Business Cards does the Missed Check-out Service apply?
For NS-Business Cards without a season ticket, NS-Business Cards with a Dal season ticket and NS-Business Cards with a Traject Vrij season ticket. In the latter case, we will credit the correction fee and will not charge a fare. The Missed Check-Out Service also works on department cards. With these cards, we’ll send an e-mail notification to the Cardholder Contact.
Using the Missed Check-out Service with a department card
You can also use the Missed Check-Out Service with a department card. With department cards, we’ll send an e-mail notification to the Cardholder Contact.
How to terminate an NS Business Card?
Een NS-Business Card kan je op elk moment beëindigen. Dat doe je als contactpersoon in Mijn NS Zakelijk voor contactpersonen onder 'Manage cards and cardholders'. Ben je een kaarthouder en wil je je kaart beëindigen, doe dit dan in Mijn NS Zakelijk voor kaarthouders onder 'My NS-Business Card'.
Zodra een NS-Business Card is beëindigd in Mijn NS Zakelijk, ontvang je van ons een e-mail met verdere uitleg. Om je kaart definitief te beëindigen is het namelijk belangrijk dat je je beëindiging ophaalt bij een NS-kaartautomaat of ophaalpunt voor de OV-chipkaart. Wanneer dit niet op tijd gebeurt, blijft de NS-Business Card geldig en blijf je betalen voor eventuele reis- en/of abonnementskosten.
How do I cancel multiple NS-Business Cards at once?
As an NS contact person, you can cancel several cards at once. Quick and easy!

Subscriptions
Which business subscriptions can I choose from?
Go to our subscriptions overview page.
What are the prices of the NS-Business subscription?
View all prices here.
How can I change my subscription?
You can do this very easily in Mijn NS Zakelijk.
  1. Log in as a cardholder
  2. Click on 'My-NS Business Card' in the left menu
  3. Click on 'Change subscription' in the block 'Manage online'.
Changing to a more extensive subscription is always possible. Changing to a more advantageous subscription is possible after the first month. Handy if your travel habits change. Good to know: do you receive a NS Business Card through your employer and are you not entitled to adjust your subscription? Then ask the contact person for NS Business Cards within your organization to change the subscription.
What is the difference between the NS-Business Card and NS Flex?
With the NS-Business Card or NS Flex you choose a way of traveling that suits you. You travel on account and therefore do not need to add any balance to your card. The difference between the NS-Business Card and NS Flex?
  • Way of invoicing
    • With the NS-Business Card you receive all trips made on one monthly VAT invoice.
    • With NS Flex, you do not receive an invoice but have the option to create a separate declaration statement without VAT percentages in your My NS account.
  • Use of shared transport
    • With both cards you can easily use the train, bus, tram, metro, OV-fiets and 'Stallen op rekening'. With the NS-Business Card you can also choose the international train, shared cars and shared scooters. All costs appear afterwards on one invoice.
  • Costs of card or subscription
    • You can apply for the NS-Business Card and most NS Flex subscriptions for free. Only for Flex Basis and Flex Weekend Voordeel you pay a one-time € 10 administration fee.
There are also agreements. Want to know more about the two options?
More about NS Business Card and NS Flex (in Dutch)
How long am I tied to the Dal subscription?
After the first month, you can cancel your Dal subscription daily or change to a different one.
For example, if you know that you won't be travelling for a few weeks, you can change to the NS-Business Card without a subscription for that period (if you don't travel, you don't pay). Or maybe you will be travelling a fixed route more often anyway. Then the Traject Vrij subscription is probably more advantageous for you. How's that for flexible!
What are the benefits of a Dal subscription for me?
During off-peak hours you get a 40% discount on your train journeys. Do you, like 90% of all business travellers, sometimes travel outside peak hours or at the weekend? You'll save money with only 1 trip per month!
Example
Suppose you travel once a month from The Hague CS to Amersfoort and back during off-peak hours. You will save €8.28 with the Dal subscription.
Without the Dal subscription
  • € 32.40 for the ticket
  • € 0.00 fixed monthly costs
  • € 32.40 total monthly costs
With the Dal subscription
  • € 19.44 for the ticket
  • € 4.68 fixed monthly costs
  • € 24.12 total monthly cost
Read more on the Dal subscription
Can I upgrade to a Dal abonnement myself?
Yes, in most cases you can personally activate a Dal subscription on your NS Business Card in Mijn NS Zakelijk.
However, sometimes only the NS contact person within your organisation can change or order subscriptions. In this case this contact person will have to activate the subscription for you in his or her Mijn NS Zakelijk account.
Can I only travel outside of peak hours with a Dal subscription?
No worries, with the Dal subscription you can travel at all times, whether during off-peak or peak hours. So you can check in and out whenever you want. You only pay 40% less during off-peak hours than during peak hours.
The off-peak hours are on weekdays from 00:00 - 06:30, between 09:00 - 16:00 and between 18:30 - 24:00 the next morning. Plus all day at weekends and on public holidays.
The NS-Business Card with or without subscription. How does it work?
The NS-Business Card is a travel card with which you check in and out in public transport and at our door-to-door services. Your employer receives the invoice afterwards. It is not a subscription (because you only pay for the journeys you make): it is a card that you use to travel.

With an NS-Business Card without subscription you can travel just like with an OV-chipkaart, only you will not get a discount on the fare.

How do I know if a Dal subscription will save me money?
In many cases, a Dal subscription saves costs if you travel once or twice a month outside of rush hours or during the weekend. This depends on the distance you travel by train. Our Keuzehulp decision tool helps you decide quickly what the best option is for you.
Off-peak hours are on weekdays from 00:00 - 06:30, between 09:00 - 16:00 and between 18:30 - 24:00 the next morning, plus all day at weekends and on public holidays. 
When are the off-peak hours?
The off-peak hours – the hours outside of the morning and afternoon peak hours – are weekdays from midnight to 6:30 am, from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm, and from 6:30 pm to midnight. On Saturday, Sunday and public holidays, the whole day is off-peak.
Does it matter if my employees travel during peak or off-peak hours?
No, this is not relevant for journeys on the route and the calculation of the tailor-made price. When travelling outside the route, different fares do apply for peak and off-peak journeys.
Can employees also travel outside their fixed route with Traject op Maat?
Yes, employees can also travel outside their fixed route. During peak hours, the regular fare applies. During off-peak hours, a 40% discount on the regular fare applies when travelling with NS and other train operators.

From that moment, you can order Traject op Maat as an employer. You can also choose to allow employees to order Traject op Maat themselves in their own Mijn NS Zakelijk account. (Please note: this is only possible if the agreement with NS states that employees can order and change subscriptions themselves).

What is the notice period for an NS-Business Card subscription?
In general, we carry out a cancellation of a subscription immediately. The card holder must, however, 'collect' the termination from the ticket machine. It may take up to 30 minutes from the moment the season ticket is terminated before the termination can be collected from the ticket machine.
Is your organisation a corporate client of NS? Then our Sales Support department will handle the termination for you.
What kind of subscription do you have for bus, tram and metro?
For people who travel a lot by bus, tram and metro (as welll as by train) we offer the BudgetZeker BTM abonnement. This is an extension of the Traject Vrij subscription.

Door-to-door
What door-to-door services can I use?
The NS-Business Card gives you - besides train, bus, tram and subway - access to the following door-to-door services:
  • OV-fiets
  • Guarded bicycle storage
  • Electric shared bikes of TIER
  • Check shared scooters
  • Deelauto's van Greenwheels
  • P+R parking (car parks next to railway stations)
  • International train travel
  • Taxi
Please note: the actual services you as a cardholder are entitled to use, depend on the agreements between your employer and NS. Only the NS contact person in your organisation can switch door-to-door services on and off.
This agreement lays down which services have been activated (and for whom). For example, you may be able to use all our services, whereas an employee of another organisation may only be able to travel by train, bus, tram, metro and OV-fiets. To find out which services have been activated for your NS-Business Card, check out your Mijn NS Zakelijk account:
  1. Log into Mijn NS Zakelijk for cardholders and click on 'My NS-Business Card'.
  2. Check whether a service is on or off. Good to know: 'on' means you can use the service. You only pay when you actually use the service.
  3. If a service is off, ask your employer to turn this service on in Mijn NS Zakelijk for Contact person under 'Manage cards and cardholders' or do this yourself as a enterpreneur.
Do you use NS Go?
Then you can add the service yourself in the system.
Can I also use bus, tram and metro with my NS-Business Card?
If your employer has given permission, you can indeed also travel by bus, tram and metro with your NS-Business Card. You travel on account: this means you check in and out with all transport companies without any worries. And you (your organisation) receive the invoice afterwards.
Discover all door-to-door services
Can my employees also travel by bus, tram and metro, or with any of the door-to-door services? And does this count as a travel day?
Yes, employees can also travel by bus, tram, and metro, and other door-to-door services. This does not count as a travel day. Only train journeys on the purchased route count when determining the number of travel days.
BudgetZeker BTM subscription
Does your employee travel a lot with public transport? For a fixed amount per year your employee travels by bus, tram or metro with all transport companies in the Netherlands. The BudgetZeker BTM subscription is sold in 3 tariff bundles. Small, Medium and Large, depending on the travel behaviour of your employee.
Can I rent an OV-fiets with my NS-Business Card?

  • Click on 'Details' behind the agreement number of your organisation
  • You will now see which door-to-door services are available for your organisation. Is Check e-scooter not available? Please mail to supportzakelijk@ns.nl to make sure your employees can also use the e-scooter.

To do this, go to 'Manage cards and cardholders' in the menu on the left. Find all cardholders and change the door-to-door services (in this case: the e-scooter) for all cardholders at once. Or manually select only certain employees for whom you will make the e-scooter available.
More on our shared scooter
As an entrepreneur, can I use the shared scooter immediately?
Yes, for entrepreneurs, the door-to-door service 'shared scooter' is already 'on' on the NS-Business Card*. You do not have to take any action yourself in Mijn NS Zakelijk. All you have to do is register with Check by downloading the Check app and filling in/supplying the requested details. You can then easily search for and reserve shared scooters via the NS app (under 'In de buurt' in the menu).
*You can check this by looking up your NS-Business Card in Mijn NS Zakelijk (log in as contact person). Here you can also see which other door-to-door services are 'on'. You can also turn services 'on' or 'off' here.
How much does renting a shared scooter cost?
Renting a shared scooter costs € 0.33 cents per minute, with a starting rate of € 0.75 cents (as of Jan. 1, 2024: € 1). The parking rate is € 0.10 cents per minute (as of Jan. 1, 2024: € 0.15 cents).
What do I need to rent/drive a shared scooter?
  • To drive an e-scooter, you need a motorcycle (type A) and/or car (type B) license or moped certificate.
  • Park your e-scooter within the service area and in the place where regular scooters are also parked.
  • If wearing a helmet is mandatory, there are two helmets in a case on the scooter. On a scooter with blue license plate (max speed 25 km/h) a helmet is not mandatory, on a scooter with yellow license plate (max speed 45 km/h) it is.
Why don't I see the 'NS-Business Card' payment method in the Check-app?
This could be because you have registered with Check before and therefore need to update the app. If an update does not work, you can remove and reinstall the app. If this also does not work, please contact NS Customer Service.
How are shared scooter trips displayed on the invoice?
