Business customers

As a business customer, you have two options for receiving your bills electronically: either directly to your accounting system or to your online banking software.

Online Banking

Use the same e-bill options as those for private customers. Please note that as a business customer, you must also have an e-billing agreement with your financial institution.

Accounting system

Business customers can import the structured and digitally signed data electronically into their accounting system. In this way, internal processes such as signing off, approving or filing can be fully automated. In comparison with classic processing systems, this leads to shorter throughput times and higher data quality. Bills are paid using the payment channels already in use.

Requirements / getting started

  • To process the e-bill, you need a contract with a service provider. You can get information about this from your financial institution or from swissDIGIN (Forum for the Promotion of B2B E-Invoicing in Switzerland).
  • With the contract you will receive a user number, known as an EBillAccountID.
  • Provide us with this user number together with your customer number and request the e-bill. Send this information to our technical contact (see below) or by post to the Federal Office of Communications, PO Box 252, CH-2501 Biel-Bienne.
  • In future you will receive your VAT-compliant bills electronically; they can be imported directly into your accounting system.
  • The e-bill does not change the transfer of payment process.

Note

Your customer number can be found on our bill.

If you should have any other queries, please get in touch with our specialist staff.
