Swiss QR-bill generator

How to use it

1. Enter the payee: name, address and IBAN or QR-IBAN.
2. Add the invoice lines, the payer and, if needed, a reference — a QR reference or an RF creditor reference.
3. Download the PDF: the invoice on top, the payment part with the receipt at the bottom. Scan the code with your banking app before sending it.

What a QR-bill is

Since October 2022, payments in Switzerland and Liechtenstein are made with QR-bills; the old orange and red slips are no longer accepted. At the bottom of the page there is a 210 × 105 mm payment part with a receipt and a Swiss QR Code that holds the payee, the amount and the reference.

The payment part is drawn by the open-source swissqrbill library according to the SIX rules, in German, French, Italian or English.

IBAN, QR-IBAN and references

With a regular IBAN you can use a creditor reference (RF…) or no reference. A QR-IBAN is a special account number for automatic reconciliation and always needs a 27-digit QR reference. Your bank issues both: the generator checks their check digits but does not invent them.

Questions and answers

Which currencies are allowed?

Only Swiss francs (CHF) and euros (EUR) — the standard requires it.

Can I leave the amount blank?

Yes: tick «Leave the amount blank on the payment part» and the payer fills it in. Handy for donations.

Which characters are allowed?

Latin letters, including Western European accents, digits and common punctuation. The standard does not allow Cyrillic or other scripts.

Where are my details kept?

Only in your browser. Tick «Remember my details» to avoid retyping them, or save them to a file.

My bank rejected the QR-bill — what now?

Check the IBAN, the reference type and the payee’s address: postcode and town are required. If the code still does not scan, write to us through the contact form.
