eBill
eBill is a Swiss system for electronic invoicing directly in e-banking. In contrast to the QR-bill (which must be scanned), the eBill invoice appears automatically in the recipient's e-banking. The recipient checks the amount and releases the payment with a click — no scanning, no typing, no forgetting.
eBill is operated by SIX and supported by over 100 Swiss banks. For billers, eBill offers higher payment rates (because the recipient does not lose the invoice), faster payment (one click instead of bank transfer), and lower dunning costs. Recipients can set up standing approvals to pay recurring invoices automatically.
For Comerciantes with recurring invoices (subscriptions, membership fees, insurance, telecom), eBill is particularly attractive. The integration requires a connection to the eBill network — either directly or through a billing partner. eBill is a purely Swiss solution and is not compatible with e-invoicing standards of other countries.
eBill Examples
A telecommunications company sends monthly invoices via eBill. Customers view the invoice in e-banking and pay with a single click.
An insurance company switches to eBill and reduces its dunning rate by 35% because invoices no longer get lost in the mail.
A gym uses eBill for monthly membership fees. Members set up permanent approval — the payment is made automatically.
