• Save money on administration as an invoice recipient thanks to automated accounts payable processing and higher data quality (no manual invoicing)
• Citizens can pay easily and securely with three clicks without having to manually record invoice data and can access e-bills anytime and anywhere.

How electronic invoicing works

1. You send the structured invoice data to PostFinance.
2. PostFinance prepares e-bills in compliance with the law
3. The invoice recipient receives the e-bill from PostFinance in their preferred format via their preferred channel
