The e-invoice sending service includes presentation of e-invoices issued by your company to the clients and receiving applications about ordered or terminated e-invoices.
E-invoice receivers can pay the e-invoice sent to their Internet Banking conveniently with a pre-filled payment order.
For the option of automated payment of e-invoices, the bank will offer and promote to the clients the conclusion of an e-invoice automated payment agreement on the basis of which transfers for future e-invoices will be made by the bank.

80% to 90% of e-invoice receivers at our bank choose e-invoices to be paid automatically which in turn results in quick and easy payment collection.
