As an invoice issuer, you know the challenge: how do you get your invoices to your customers and how do they get paid? There are three common methods to choose from: mail, e-mail, or eBill.
Sending invoices by post takes longer and costs more than sending them electronically. Sending invoices by e-mail seems more efficient at first glance, but it is also prone to errors: recipients overlook invoices, forget to provide new e-mail addresses or the invoices end up in the spam folders.
The eBill platform, on the other hand, offers a digitally seamless and secure solution. You send your invoices directly to online banking – exactly where your customers pay them. With just a few clicks and guaranteed without manual intervention.
Maximum Security with eBill
A key advantage of eBill over other payment methods is its security. While e-mail invoices often pose a risk due to increasing phishing threats, eBill offers a fully encrypted platform. Invoice issuer and recipient communicate directly within the protected eBill system, without media disruption and without the risk of being redirected to fraudulent portals.
Another important security aspect is the integration with online banking. The payer is in a secure environment when paying the invoice. This not only further minimizes the risk of phishing, but also the likelihood of incorrect entries, as the eBill platform automatically takes over all payment details of the invoice.
Efficiency and Cost Benefits for Invoice Issuers
In addition to its high level of security, eBill is also highly efficient. The delivery of the invoice to the online banking and the automation of the payment processes mean that you, as the invoice issuer, receive the credit note faster and more reliably. An internal study by SBB, one of the largest invoice issuers in Switzerland, has shown that the dunning rate for e-mail invoices is the highest, while it is significantly lower for eBill. This not only improves the issuer's cash flow, but also significantly reduces the administrative burden.
Getting Started Is Easy
Increasingly large invoice issuers in Switzerland are opting for eBill because they have recognized the many benefits: high security, fewer late payments, less administrative work and higher customer satisfaction. In the medium and long term, eBill leads to considerable savings and better customer loyalty.
If your company would also like to benefit from the advantages of the eBill platform, it's very easy to get started: contact the network partner of your choice and start sending your invoices securely and conveniently via eBill.
