A friend from Scotland will come to the Netherlands for one month. She will travel by train. She is 77 years old. Can she use a dalurenkaart or voordeelurenkaart? Can she use the extra days for OAP? Can she use her British bank pass for all this?

She can use any NS subscription she likes. She will however need a personal OV-chipkaart. The easiest way to get this is to order it online for her using your own bank account and your Dutch address, so you'll have the card delivered there, with the subscription already active. Via customer service, she can then change the bank account to her own, if it supports SEPA direct debit. If not, she could get a free Revolut account. If her bank account does support SEPA direct debit, then she also needs to check what it will cost to use it, since NS will be debiting euros and her bank will convert that to pounds and will probably charge a fee for that.

Dankjewel Rian, most helpful including the details!

Revolut rekent geen kosten voor het omzetten van valuta tot een bepaald limiet. Wat precies is verschillend. Ik zal zo even kijken welk limiet er voor standaard users is.

Kon ik zo gauw ook niet vinden, maar heb de vraag gesteld via https://x.com/oldschoolrobert/status/1779933325433463295

Voor handmatige overboekingen tot 100 euro (naar een ontvanger in GBP) is het 0,3% dus dat is te overzien. Bij hogere bedragen is het 0,2%
