I remember finding a brief mention hidden somewhere on the website that explicitly says you need a *photo* chipkaart a few years back, so I never tried using my non-photo one. If that's actually allowed, it's gonna make things so much easier for my friends...

@Karcsesz@equestria.social @Lunaphied@provably.online @notjustbikes@social.notjustbikes.com @ajinkyapdahale@mstdn.social @danbrotherston@types.pl @BicycleDutch@mastodon.social No, a "personal OV-chipkaart" with photo and backed by a bank account is required. Once you have that, you need to add the (free) NS OV-fiets sub to it. Don't mind the "Ovpay" mentioned here. That doesn't work yet for OV-fiets: https://www.ov-chipkaart.nl/en/apply-for-personal-ov-chipcard They do say: "Is your IBAN not from the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg or Germany? Please contact us via chat. We will then help you apply for your OV-chipkaart."
