Convenient, easy payments thanks to QR bills
In 2020, the QR bill was rolled out across Switzerland. All the payment information is contained in the QR code. Simply scan the code, generate the invoice, and that's it.
Benefits of QR bills
- Simply scan the QR code to access all the billing information.
- You don't have to manually type in the account and reference numbers.
- It takes just one click to make the payment.
What does a QR bill payment slip look like?
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.
More information from SIX can be found here or as a PDF to download.
