The invoice issuers you activate can send their invoices directly to your e-banking facility using eBill, and you can check and release them for payment there. Since all details are entered directly into your e-banking facility, there is no need for typing or scanning any details in, reducing incorrect entries.<\/p>\n<p>The following video clearly demonstrates what exactly eBill is and how it works:<\/p>\n<div class=\"avia-iframe-wrap\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"eBill &ndash; the Digital Invoice for Switzerland\" width=\"1500\" height=\"844\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/H3kkV5bP5Pk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ebas.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ebill-quickguide-2023-en.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">eBill-Quickguide<\/a> provides good instructions and an overview of how to activate and set up eBill.<\/p>\n<h3>eBill vs. QR invoice vs. LSV<\/h3>\n<p><strong>eBill:<\/strong> Fully automated billing and invoice processing directly inside your e-banking &nbsp;facility, making it convenient, saving time and reducing human error.<\/p>\n<p><strong>QR invoice:<\/strong> These are available either in electronic or paper form.

Nowadays, QR codes are also used for invoices (&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https:\/\/www.ebas.ch\/en\/qr-invoices\/&amp;quot;&amp;gt;QR invoices&amp;lt;\/a&amp;gt;) as well as in the publishing and marketing sectors to link physical objects (products, print media, posters, etc.) with the online world and make additional information available this way. As the contents of QR codes cannot readily be decoded by humans, these codes have to be scanned in first, e. g. using a smartphone.&lt;\/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;Users cannot usually see what kind of information is coded into them before scanning in a QR code. If possible, they should therefore use a QR code scanner (app) which displays the decoded contents first and asks them whether they would actually like to visit a link or execute a certain action.&lt;\/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&amp;lt;img class=&amp;quot;aligncenter wp-image-25787&amp;quot; src=&amp;quot;https:\/\/www.ebas.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/qrcode.svg&amp;quot; alt=&amp;quot;&amp;quot; width=&amp;quot;135&amp;quot; \/&amp;gt;&lt;br \/&gt;\n&amp;lt;p style=&amp;quot;text-align: center;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Example QR code by &amp;quot;eBanking &ndash; but secure!&rdquo;&amp;lt;\/p&amp;gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;\/div&gt;\n\"  data-mobile-support=\"0\"  data-gt-translate-attributes='[{\"attribute\":\"data-cmtooltip\", \"format\":\"html\"}]' tabindex='0' role='link'>QR code<\/span> makes for fast invoice entry and processing.

Also very convenient, it gives you much less control over the payment process.<\/p>\n<h3>How to use eBill securely?<\/h3>\n<p>As an integral component of e-banking, invoices via eBill are always subject to the same security precautions as e-banking itself. To access your eBill invoices, you will therefore also have to log into your e-banking or mobile banking facility first, passing through the usual security steps.<\/p>\n<p>The same as with QR invoices (in paper or electronic form), you have to check them before they are approved:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Check the invoice issuer<\/li>\n<li>Check the invoice content (amount, recipient etc.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Using a so-called standing approval, eBill invoices by certain invoice issuers fulfilling criteria set by you (for instance up to a maximum amount) can be paid automatically. You should use this function only very sparingly and use limiting criteria, so that you keep complete control over approving invoices in each instance.<\/p>\n<p>You can access your invoices in the eBill portal for two years. For longer-term storage and archiving, you should download and store your eBill invoice locally.<\/p>\n<h3>Potential problems with ad blockers and anti-tracking tools<\/h3>\n<p>Software blocking ads or protecting user privacy when surfing the web sometimes results in severe conflicts with some web-based solutions such as e-banking or eBill, too. Depending on the software, you will have to configure an exception for eBill.
