Overview

Pay invoices with just a few clicks in your e-banking/e-finance app

With eBill you can pay your bills even more easily and conveniently. You don't need to scan a payment slip or type out the details anymore, you just have to check your invoice directly in your e-banking/e-finance app and approve the payment with just two clicks. If required, you can also set up an automatic invoice approval up to a certain invoice total. You can find all the advantages of paying with eBill in the following video.

Switch to e-billing and support WWF

Through Terra Vital, a joint project with its partner WWF, SWICA aims to demonstrate its commitment to the health of humans and the environment. By switching to e-billing now, you can help to protect the environment and support important projects in the area of peatlands and regenerative agriculture.

How to register for SWICA eBill invoices

  1. Log in to your e-banking/e-finance app as usual
  2. Select «eBill/e-billing» in the menu
  3. Register for the eBill service if you haven't already
  4. For identification purposes, please enter your insurance number or your last premium invoice number

Please note: After switching, you will stop receiving paper invoices from SWICA. You can view your invoices at any time in your mySWICA account.

Payment by direct debit

As an alternative to eBill, you can also pay your premium invoices via direct debit or PostFinance Direct Debit. The invoice amount will be debited automatically from your account on the due date. To make the switch, please complete the application form on a computer or by hand and send it signed to the specified address. We will send you payment slips for payment of your premiums and co-payments until your bank authorises the direct debit facility.

Paying your invoices with the new QR code

As of the end of February 2022, SWICA will send only invoices with QR codes to its customers. Payment transactions in Switzerland have been updated, and the previous orange payment slips are being discontinued. The new QR code that is now on SWICA's invoices has all the necessary information so that you can pay your premium invoices conveniently with just a few clicks.

Note regarding payments from outside Switzerland

The QR IBAN printed on the premium invoice doesn't work for payments made from other countries. You can use the payment details shown above the QR invoice instead. Alternatively you can make payments from outside Switzerland to the following bank information, making reference to the insurance and statement number.

IBAN: CH 10 0483 5082 6327 1100 0
BIC: SWIFT CRESCHZZ80A 
Bank: Credit Suisse AG, 8070 Zürich

Please note: The amount transferred must equal the exact amount in Swiss francs.

 

Main parts of the new QR invoice

The example below shows you where you can find the key information in the payment section of the new QR invoice.

  1. QR code with all of the relevant payment details to enter conveniently in your e-banking app or smartphone
  2. New account number (QR IBAN) for adjusting your standing orders
  3. Payment details as text to enter manually in your e-banking app. Please use the personal details printed on your payment slip.

Save money by paying insurance premiums annually

SWICA offers a 0.5 percent discount if you pay your premiums annually. This discount applies to any basic or supplementary insurance plans that you have taken out with SWICA. You can adjust the frequency of your payments in the mySWICA customer portal, or call us on +41 58 800 99 33.

Frequently asked questions

The QR code on the new invoices contains all of the information required to make the payment. This means you no longer have to manually key in the details, for example regarding the recipient. Scanning the QR code also eliminates the risk of typos. This makes it a much quicker way to pay your premium invoices that takes only a few clicks.

Good to know: You can still submit your invoices manually for payment via your bank or post office.
If you use a standing order to pay your premiums, you must replace the old account number (ISR participant number) in the system. You will find the new QR IBAN on your invoice to the right of the QR code.

Except in the case of standing orders, you don't have to make any changes when using the following payment methods:

  • E-billing
  • Direct debit
  • Direct debit (PostFinance)

No, SWICA is unable to accept cash for technical reasons. We refer you to the payment options listed here.

«We've all had calls from health insurers offering us lower premiums and asking us to switch to them. However, in the case of my family and me, the excellent service and care we get from the SWICA office in Olten have kept us there as loyal customers for years. Most of my dealings with SWICA have been with Renate Peter, who helps me with whatever I need and gives great advice. Policyholders often face complicated issues, but I could always count on SWICA's help and appreciate their friendly style – something not to be taken for granted these days. So, I’m happy to share my experience with SWICA with others. Keep it up! By the way, having had the same contact person for years tells me that the Olten branch must be a good place to work.»

«SWICA is the best health insurer in Switzerland by far. I tried CSS, Arcosana, Concordia and others, but then I switched back to SWICA. Thanks to SWICA, instead of having more than 12 days of migraines a month, with the injection I now only have one day and my quality of life is so much better! SWICA is very straightforward, fast and has fantastic customer service!»

«The tips I received from the Benevita team made me aware of exactly what I had to change in my eating and exercise routines. It's true that I was taking a lot of exercise and eating appropriate foods, but the exercise I was doing turned out to be inefficient and I wasn’t eating enough protein. Now I’ve lost four kilos – my body is more toned and I’m pleased with how I look.»
