Reclaiming or transferring your balance

You cannot transfer your balance to another card yourself. Of course, you can claim a refund of the balance on your OV-pas or OV-chipkaart. Find out how to do this on this page.

Before you request a refund of your balance

Do you use automatic top-up for your balance? Stop automatic top-up first before you request a refund of the money still on your OV-chipkaart or OV-pas.

For your OV-chipkaart stop automatic top-up at ov-chipkaart.nl. For your OV-pas (card with a notch) do this via your Mijn OVpay-account on ovpay.nl

Request a refund of your OV-chipkaart balance

Would you like to request the money remaining on your personal or anonymous OV-chipkaart? Complete the form on ov-chipkaart.nl and the balance will be refunded to your bank account. It does not matter if your OV-chipkaart has expired.

If your OV-chipkaart has not yet expired and your balance is less than € 30, you can also request the amount at an OV Service & Tickets shop.

Reclaim OV-pas balance (card with notch)

Request a refund of the balance on your OV-pas at OVpay.nl. Sign in to the website with your OVpay account and follow the steps to request your refund.

The refund will be on your bank account within five working days.
