QR-Rechnung
QR-Bill
Simple Definition
The modern Swiss payment slip with a QR code, which replaced the old orange/red slips in 2022.
Why this matters to Expats.
The standard way to pay rent, insurance, and doctors. You just scan the QR code with your banking app. No more typing 27-digit reference numbers!
Actionable Intelligence
E-Bill: Even better than QR. Sign up for "eBill" in your online banking. Invoices (like Serafe or Health Insurance) go straight to your app. You just click "Approve". No scanning needed.
Twint: Some QR bills also have a TWINT code for instant payment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I pay at the Post Office?
Yes, you can physically take the paper bill to the counter (Postschalter), but they charge a fee for this now.
What if I don't have a smartphone?
You can use a "QR Reader" device (expensive) or manually type the IBAN and Reference Number.
