Convenient, easy payments thanks to QR bills
In 2020, the QR bill was rolled out across Switzerland. Following a two-year transitional period, they will completely replace the red and orange payment slips as of 1 October 2022. QR bills will make it even easier to make payments in future. All the payment information is contained in the QR code. Simply scan the code, release the invoice, done.
Benefits of QR bills
- Simply scan the QR code to access all the billing information.
- You no longer have to manually type in the account and reference numbers. This saves time and eliminates errors.
- It takes just one click to make the payment.
What will change for me as the recipient of a bill?
In future, you will only receive QR bills as the red and orange payment slips will be completely replaced.
What does a QR bill payment slip look like?
As was the case with the old payment slips, a QR bill is split into two parts: the receipt slip (1) and the payment part (2).
The “Swiss QR code” (3) contains all the information required for invoicing and payment.
You can use the perforation (4) to detach the payment part and receipt slip from the bill and then pay at a post office or send a payment order to your bank.
