Swiss QR

Swiss QR is one of the variants of QR codes. In Switzerland, as well as in the whole world QR codes are used everywhere. However, to use these codes in the sphere of electronic payments it was decided to create its own kind of QR. Now all the payment receipts and bills in Switzerland should have a QR code with the Swiss cross in the center is a distinctive feature of the Swiss QR.

FastReport .NET supports Swiss QR code. The code itself looks almost the same as an ordinary QR with the only difference that there is a Swiss cross in its center:

Let's take a closer look at the parameters:

Iban

In Switzerland, the IBAN (International Bank Account Number) standard is used to represent a bank account number. It is an international standard, which is registered in ISO under the number 13616.

Here you can choose between two types Iban or QRIban.

QRIban should be used for payments with QR link. In this case QRIban also corresponds to the standard ISO 13616. Every legal institution, which participates in the scheme, gets its identifier in the range of 30000 - 31999. This identifier is called QR-IID and it is included into the QR-Iban.

Type

  • QRR is a QR link: a Swiss standard link with the length of 26 symbols (only figures);
  • SCOR – Link of the creditor: the international standard of the link with the length from 5 to 25 symbols;
