QR-bill for companies

We recommend you switch to QR-bill right away. Please note the following points:

• QR-bill-compatible software: Please ensure that your accounting software can process QR-bills. Contact your software provider if you have any questions.
• New account reporting format: For automatic accounts receivable reconciliation, you must instruct UBS in advance to switch notification of incoming payments to the electronic message format camt.054.
  > To camt account reports
• Reference: The first six digits of the QR reference must be filled in with the existing BESR-ID as identification number. This prevents potential rejections and posting errors at the recipient bank (in case a QR-bill is mistakenly paid as an orange payment slip).
• Print: Please use white perforated paper. When printing, please make sure to print in the original size.
• Testing: To make your transition to QR-bill as smooth as possible, we invite you to use our free test form before sending your first QR-bill. Please send examples of your QR-bills to the following address:
  UBS Switzerland AG
  Client Lifecycle Services
  E-Contracts
  P.O. Box
  CH-8098 Zurich

Important: Please remind your clients to replace all existing standing orders with QR-bills, as soon as you as biller have switched to QR-bills. All existing standing orders (based on red/orange payment slips) must be replaced with the new QR-bill.

If you want to pay your QR-bills through UBS E-Banking, UBS Mobile Banking, UBS Multimat or an order form (UBS easy, UBS easy international, a one-time order or standing order), UBS has ensured that you can also pay QR-bills as usual.

You can also pay QR-bills using our UBS easy forms. In the same way as today’s payment slips, simply separate the payment part from the QR-bill and submit the UBS easy form for payments in CHF and the UBS easy international form for amounts in EUR. Please note that all the information printed or allowed to be added in handwriting on the payment part must always be provided along with the payment when making QR payments, regardless of whether this information is necessary for executing the payment. Handwritten additions (but not deletions) are only permitted if the amount and/or the bill recipient “Payable by” is missing.

Factsheet UBS easy

If you use accounting software to send electronic payment orders to UBS, you must ensure that your system is ready for QR-bills. Take advantage of the possibility to check the status of your software on our website ubs.com/qr-software. Your software must support and validate QR-bills with your additional information and options for payment and be able to generate the electronic payment order in compliance with the SIX requirements. Payment templates must as a rule be newly created for QR-bills with the new information for your creditor.

The electronic payment order in pain.001 format must be supplemented for the QR-bill. There are also important differences for entering payments for QR-bills, compared with current payment slips. Check with your software manufacturer as to whether an update of your software is needed for QR-bills.
