Find out how to pay QR-bills or create them yourself

How do I pay a QR-bill with the PostFinance App?

The easiest way is on your mobile via the PostFinance App: open the app on your smartphone, go to “Payments” in the menu and scan the QR code on the payment part or upload a digitally received invoice file (e. g. PDF). If the QR code can’t be read, you can enter the payment information manually. You can find this information as text next to the QR code on the payment part.

How do I pay a QR-bill on the PC?

Log on to e-finance and select the function “Pay QR-bill” on the “Enter payment” tile. QR-bills can be scanned from three different sources: “PDF/file” for uploading QR-bills received electronically (e.g. as a PDF attachment sent to an e-mail address), “Camera” for scanning paper-based bills using a webcam, or “Slip scanner” if there is a large number of QR-bills. If the system doesn’t recognize the QR code, enter the payment information manually into the payment screen in e-finance. You can find this information as text next to the QR code on the payment part.

Tip

You can choose whether to execute the payment as an individual or standing order. Standing orders are ideal for recurring payments of fixed amounts (e.g. rent).

Useful information

With eBill – provided the invoice issuer offers this option – you no longer receive invoices by post or e-mail, but instead directly in e-finance, where you can check and pay them in a few clicks. eBill is easy to set up by yourself.

QR-bills can be paid at the counter in Swiss Post branches, at terminals for independent invoice payment and via The link will open in a new window Swiss Post’s home service at swisspost.ch. If you’ve received the QR-bill by e-mail, print it out scaled to 100% so that the reader can recognize the QR code. For the payment, please submit only the payment part with the receipt that you have already detached. If you use the yellow receipt booklet for the receipt, then you have to submit only the payment part.

Please note that costs are incurred when paying in QR-bills at the counter in Swiss Post branches, and these are charged to the payment recipient. They have the option of reversing the costs so that you are charged. That’s why we recommend avoiding such inpayments – if possible – and using the PostFinance App or e-finance instead.

There’s also the option of transferring or donating amounts at the counter in Swiss Post branches without having a QR-bill with a fixed amount. You have to provide the counter staff verbally with all the invoice details required – this includes at least

• The IBAN/reference number (if available)
• The amount you’d like to transfer
• The recipient’s name
• The recipient’s postcode/location

By post as a payment order

You submit the detached payment part (without receipt) to PostFinance by post, via payment order in the envelope – and we’ll execute the payments for you.
