Swiss QR Invoices — what you need to know
Since October 2022, the QR invoice replaces the old orange and red payment slips. For direct IBAN transfers without a payment slip, no QR code is needed.
QR-IBAN vs. regular IBAN
For QR invoices with a QR reference (QRR), you need a QR-IBAN — a special 21-character account number, free from your bank. For simple IBAN transfers, your regular IBAN is sufficient.
- QR-IBAN: 21 characters, starts with CH
- Free from your bank on request
- Required for QR invoices with reference number
- Regular IBAN for simple bank transfers

Frequently Asked Questions about Swiss QR Invoices
What is a Swiss QR invoice?
A Swiss QR invoice (payment slip with QR code) is the Swiss standard for bank transfer payments with a payment slip. It contains a Swiss QR Code (SIX standard) with all payment data. Since October 2022, it has replaced the old orange and red payment slips.
What is the difference between QR-IBAN and regular IBAN?
A QR-IBAN is a 21-character account number issued by your bank specifically for QR invoices with a QR reference. For QR invoices without a reference, a regular IBAN is sufficient. You can request your QR-IBAN free of charge from your bank.
Do I need to issue QR invoices as a freelancer?
If you accept payments by payment slip, yes. For direct IBAN transfers (where the client transfers without a payment slip), no QR code is needed. With Magic Heidi, QR invoices are created automatically.
Can I issue QR invoices in EUR?
Yes, Swiss QR invoices support both CHF and EUR. For EUR invoices, you need a EUR account at your Swiss bank with a corresponding QR-IBAN.
