eBill

Registering for eBill

In Digital Banking, click on “Settings” at the top right of your screen, followed by “Overview” -> “eBill invoices” -> “Register for eBill.” Complete your registration by following the steps indicated.

Adding a biller

To benefit from eBill, your vendors must offer eBill, which nearly all large companies in Switzerland already do. So too, do thousands of small and medium-sized companies and therefore many if not most of your suppliers. Under the settings for eBill in your Digital Banking, you will quickly find companies that you wish to pay by eBill in future. If you don’t want to waste any time searching, simply activate the function “Add automatically.” Your vendors will then know that you want to receive eBills.

And it's that easy:

1. In the e-banking navigation, navigate to "Payments > recipients and billers"
2. Search for the desired invoice issuer and select "Add". Fill in all the necessary information to register with the invoice issuer.

Unlike direct debits or standing orders, eBill invoices are only paid after they are checked and approved for payment.

On every eBill invoice you can see the biller, due date and amount at a glance. As the payment details are already entered for eBill, you need only click to approve the payment.

Under "Payments > transfer and pay invoices" you will find the outstanding invoices under eBill invoices.

You can view your incoming invoices there and approve them quickly and easily with just a few clicks.

If you are not happy with a payment request you can reject it directly in Digital Banking.

In the case of recurring invoices, e.g., from telecom providers or insurance companies, you’ll save time by setting up an automatic standing approval – which can be linked to maximum amounts and other criteria – instead of approving each invoice individually.

Regarding security, every eBill invoice contains a tamper-proof digital signature that guarantees its authenticity. This makes it more secure than invoices sent by post or email. An eBill invoice is only forwarded to your E-Banking once the eBill system has verified this signature.

Personalizing your eBill settings in Digital Banking is just as easy as paying an eBill.

We’ll let you know when a new eBill invoice arrives. In Digital Banking you decide for yourself how you want to be notified, whether by email, text message or push notification, and whether immediately or only via notification in E-Banking.

Under “Settings” > “Mobile Banking” > “Payments», you can set notifications for the receipt of eBill invoices. These can be changed at any time.

Here you’ll also find further options for, e.g., joint management of your eBill mailbox with a person you trust. Where necessary you’ll find support and answers to your questions about eBill here.

Paid eBill invoices are automatically archived in UBS Safe where they are securely stored and cannot be lost. You can access your digital safe deposit box at any time directly from Digital Banking. Naturally, you can also download invoices as PDF files.

eBill is free of charge but saves you a lot of time and hassle. Billers also save – on paper, printing, shipping, postage, etc. As such, eBill creates a classic win-win with benefits for you, the biller and the environment.
