However, that +assumes that the banks and the issuers of the bills work together. I have +lived for several years in Switzerland and there the payment slips are +completely standardized, in machine readable form. Every bill you get is +using one of these. I think Juergen is talking about those, considering he +is in Geneva. The Swiss slips have a long code on them that indicates who +is recipient of the payment, the sum, the identification of the bill (e.g. +a facture number or month number if it is something like rent) and a +checksum. So the chance that the machine would accept an incorrect code is +virtually nil. + +Swiss banks offer either a portable reader that you can use with +internetbanking or there are self-service kiosks in the branches where you +can pay these by simply scanning them in the machine. Unless the slip was +dirty or excessively wrinkled, I have never had a single issue in the 4 +years I lived there, the reading and the checks against your account are +very robust. It was so convenient that I have often walked to the UBS +branch office on the campus after work to use the kiosk rather then be +bothered with retyping at home (I didn't have the portable scanner). You +log into the machine with your credit card (or account card), scan all the +slips, click approve, go home. In Juergen's place I would go and talk to +the bank - I am sure they offer this sort of slip scanner and e.g. UBS (one +of the major Swiss banks) has even a cellphone app for it. + +However, if you want to do this as something general, where the slips +aren't standard (e.g. here in France) or the fields are not in standard +places - that is pretty much hopeless. Doublechecking the scans and then +somehow integrating it into the internetbanking would be really hard and +fragile thing to do. You are better off with setting up automatic debit +authorizations and not bothering with slips in that case. + +Regards, + +J. +-------------- next part -------------- +An HTML attachment was scrubbed... +URL: </pipermail/mageia-discuss/attachments/20130214/970c69c7/attachment.html> +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="009188.html">[Mageia-discuss] Reading payment forms with a scanner +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="009190.html">[Mageia-discuss] Reading payment forms with a scanner +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#9189">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#9189">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#9189">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#9189">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">More information about the Mageia-discuss +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
