QR-bill implementation (Swiss 🇨🇭 payment standard for wire transfers)

qrbill Go package

The qrbill package implements generating QR-bill QR codes, which is a Swiss 🇨🇭 payment standard:

• launch announcement

• Specification: Swiss Implementation Guidelines QR-bill
  (version 2.1 from 30 September 2019 at the time of writing)

These QR codes fill in details of a bank wire transfer, either all fields or just some of them.

Recipients can scan the QR code with their mobile banking app, or with their online banking web site’s mobile scan functionality, making it much easier to send a wire transfer.

An example use case is for an association or club: you can send out payment instructions to your members to collect membership fees (“Einzahlungsschein”).

Validity

The SIX QR-bill validation portal successfully confirms that e.g. the code at the top right is valid.
