E-invoicing API integration can unlock additional revenue streams and help neobanks and financial platforms take another step towards becoming true Super Apps.
What is e-invoicing?
Electronic invoicing (also known as E-invoicing) is a form of invoicing, when the client is presented not with a paper or scanned invoice but with an E-invoice.
An e invoice follows a predefined, standardized format. All data (e.g. PO number, VAT number, and so on) is provided in a structured way, and the e invoice can be automatically imported and processed by the purchasing organization’s AP system. E-invoicing systems commonly use electronic data interchange (EDI) and XML formats to make data exchange easier.
While e invoicing itself has been on the market for at least 30 years, its adoption varies from market to market. For example, across the European Union, E-invoicing has been standardized since 2020.
What are the benefits of the E-invoice API?
The integration of API for e invoicing is a suitable solution for banks and other financial platforms that do not want to waste time on building their own E-invoicing system. By using a compliant e invoicing API solution, neobanks, banks and other financial services providers can allow their business clients to:
- Mitigate the risks associated with fraud and tax leakage
- Save money and resources that would be wasted on manual invoicing
- Reduce invoice mismatches
- Unlock additional benefits like easy tax claims
