The QR-bill – The basis for more efficient payment transactions

The QR-bill creates the basis for more efficient payment transactions – for all parties involved. Take the necessary arrangements so that you too can take a step towards the digital future and pay incoming QR invoices automatically from 30 June 2020!

 

What to do so that your company can benefit from the QR-bill?

Prepare yourself in time! It is best to contact your payment transaction partners – your bank and us – now. This way you can ensure that the planning and conversion work will be completed by 30 June 2020. Because you could receive QR-bills due for payment as early as the following day.

  • Budget  and start projects early
  • Analyze how your company pays bills today
    With a payment order? In e-banking? Via payment software with file transfer? Or on the basis of complex accounts payable processes with various software solutions?
  • Where action is needed
    In accounts payable and payment software. Check the vendor master data and supplement it with IBANs and, if necessary, QR-IBANs. Are your readers or scanning platforms compatible? Make sure that your hardware and software can read and process QR codes.

These are the changes for bill recipients

  • A QR code contains all payment-relevant data
  • New payment references “QR Reference” and “Creditor Reference”
  • Account number formats: Only IBAN or “QR-IBAN” now
