Support Swiss QR-bill

[gagarine]

The QR-bill, which has been in circulation since June 2020, definitively replaced Swiss payment slips on 1 October 2022. The QR-bill features a QR code with a Swiss cross as an identifying feature. The Swiss QR code contains all the information necessary for a payment in digital form. This ensures improved security and enables a smoother financial process.

How the QR-bill Works

The QR-bill can be printed or issued digitally. It is the successor to the previous payment slips. The QR-bill consists of a payment section and a receipt. All payment information is contained both digitally in the Swiss QR Code and – as usual – in plain text. This enables the invoice recipient to check the correctness of the payment data after scanning and before approving the payment and, if necessary, to enter payments manually.

Just like existing payment slips, the QR-bill is divided into two parts – into a receipt (1) and a payment section (2). The Swiss QR Code (3) contains all relevant information needed both for invoicing and for payment. The QR-bill is perforated (4). In this way, the invoice recipient can easily separate the payment section and the receipt from the invoice and either pay it at the post office counter, or send it to the bank with the payment order by mail.
