As part of harmonising and digitising payment transactions, QR-bill replaced the current red and orange payment slips as of 1st October 2022.
Managing QR-bills with BPS (SUISSE)
1. For QR-bills recipients
BPS (SUISSE) Clients have three different options to pay using the simple QR-bill method:
- BPS (SUISSE) GoBanking app
With the app, users can check balances/transfers and scan QR-bills. To scan QR-bills, simply line up the QR code printed on the invoice on your smartphone; the data required for the payment will be uploaded directly to GoBanking.
For payments to new beneficiaries and/or amounts over CHF 1000.--, authorisation will be required on the web version of GoBanking.
If you do not have the BPS SUISSE GoBanking app, note that our platform is compatible with a few special optical readers (e.g. PayEye from Crealogix) - for further information, please contact our Call Center.
- Manual entry in GoBanking
As is currently the case with orange payment slips, you can enter the payment data specified on the QR-bill manually in GoBanking, using the “QR Invoice Payment” function.
- BPS Direct
The QR-bill can be paid at a sub-branch in the same way as a normal payment, or via BPS Direct payment.
We remind to update already registered orders (single or standing orders) with the new references as per the QR-bill in good time.

2. For QR-bills issuers
Issuing in GoBanking
In GoBanking, BPS (SUISSE) Clients have a QR-bill generator at their disposal, which allows them to generate their own QR-bills to be credited to their BPS (SUISSE) accounts.
The following QR-bill versions can be generated:
- QR-bill with QR reference (current orange payment slip – BESR)
- IBAN without a reference (with or without reason for payment – current red payment slip – IS).
Details of the individual versions available can be found in the attached document "QR-bills - Issue".
Obtaining/activating QR-IBAN
- Clients who have already set up an account for the collection of BESR invoices can view their own QR-IBAN in GoBanking under “Asset”, by selecting the account under “BESR SUPSENSE ACCOUNTS”.
If you have any questions, our Call Center will be happy to help you.
- Clients who do not yet have an account for the collection of invoices and would like to activate it should contact our Call Center.
