The essentials
Simplify your invoicing processes
The LSV+ or BDD direct debit system simplifies your invoicing processes and reduces processing costs.
It is aimed at medium and large companies that collect regular receivables in CHF or EUR, but of varying amounts, from the same clients and wish to offer them a simple and fast payment method.
LSV+ : direct debit with right of objection
The client may contest a payment made to his bank - without giving reasons - up to a maximum of 30 calendar days after notification of the debit to his account.
BDD (Business Direct Debit): direct debit without right of objection
How it works
Your clients must authorise you to debit their bank account directly for the amount of receivables due, by means of a debit authorisation. This authorisation may be granted with right of objection (LSV+) or without right of objection (BDD).
Details
- Your company issues invoices directly from its invoicing software with your client's references
- You send an LSV/BDD file via Six from your invoicing software to the various banks that must release payments (provided the client has given prior authorisation)
- Your client pays the invoice via his bank
- You download an LSV file via Netbanking or Business link to obtain the details and status of payments
- You can reconcile incoming payments via your invoicing software
