Noteworthy: - more contracts than citizens in Finland - due to multibank relationships - interesting as e-banking typically carries a monthly fee (some 2€) - but has discounts and is free for young customers (up to 26 typically) - slowing transaction growth may reflect both slower economic growth and above all rapidly growing use of e-invoicing - t...

Noteworthy: - banks have tremendous selling power - over 200 000 enterprises signed up - about 87% of active enterprises - excellent and improving volume growth (even if Norway and Sweden are ahead in the consumer sector - as invoice senders are not discouraged to charge visibly for having to send paper there) - on EU-level this would mean some 1,8...
Delivered at the Multi Stakeholder Forum: "The European Parliament welcomes the e-Invoicing Initiative and the substantial benefits that it could trigger: shorter payment periods, fewer errors, better collection of VAT, reduced printing and postage costs and business integrated processing.

Important communication. “Europolitics also reports that ministers discussed the widespread adoption of e-invoicing, with all in attendance backing the European Commission publication 'e-Invoicing: Reaping the benefits of electronic invoicing for Europe', which outlines a blueprint for introducing cross-border e-invoicing” http://bx.businessweek.c...

It has to be structured data (and as soon as possible in the ISO2022 format) as seen here: http://eeiplatform.com/7314/pdf-invoices-creating-more-paperwork-than-it-saves-research/?utm_source=E-invoicing+Platform&utm_campaign=4640aa2e5c-E-invoicing+Platform+-+Newsletter+wk+07&utm_medium=email to get the productivity ...
Extracting value for customers based on this data will obviously be of increasing importance also in payments - especially extended payments.
