How do I pay QR-bills?

If you’re paying bills directly with UBS

QR-bills can be paid via UBS E-Banking, UBS Mobile Banking, UBS Multimat or an order form (UBS easy, UBS easy international, a one-time order or standing order) as well as in UBS branches.

If you would like to pay QR-bills with our UBS easy forms, 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 on the payment part or permitted handwritten additions to this part must always be provided along with the payment when making QR payments, regardless of whether this information is needed to execute the payment. Handwritten additions (but not deletions) are only permitted if the amount and/or the bill recipient in the “Payable by” field is missing.

If you’re using an accounting software

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. Check with your software manufacturer as to whether an update of your software is needed for QR-bills.
