Finom is introducing a new feature to simplify the SEPA payment process, by allowing you to scan invoices directly from your mobile device. This feature enables automatic recognition of invoice details, reducing manual data entry.
💡 Please note that currently only invoices in euros can be recognized.
From your mobile app, navigate to the Quick actions button.
2. Choose “Euro payment”
💡 This functionality is only available for SEPA payments.
3. Click the "Pay with Invoice" button
Upon tapping Pay with Invoice, you will see the list with the following options:
Take Photo: Capture an image of the invoice.
Add from Library: Select an existing photo.
Choose from Files: Upload a file (PDF or image only).
Select from Finom Documents: Choose from previously uploaded invoices.
Uploading an invoice with any of these options will work.
💡 Please ensure that the file size does not exceed 10MB.
Let’s proceed with taking a photo.
4. Click on “Take a photo”
You may be asked to grant camera permissions
Use the camera interface with options to enable flash, capture a photo, or cancel.
After capturing:
Use Photo: Proceed with the captured image.
Retake: Capture another photo.
Add New: Take additional photos (compiled into a single PDF).
Done: Finalize and proceed.
5. The document recognition process will start. You will see a loading screen with the message: "The document is being recognized."
There are several possible outcomes of the recognition process:
Success: If recognized and in euros, you will be able to proceed to payment details.
File Too Large (>10MB): You will be asked to upload a smaller file.
Non-Euro Invoice: You will be asked to upload a euro-based invoice.
Recognition Error: You will receive an error message and will need to retry later.
6. Once the invoice has been recognized, you will see the transfer recipient details confirmation screen and be prompted to add them as a new contact.
You can always manually adjust any data
7. At the next step, you will need to confirm the transfer amount.
8. In the next step, you will need to check the reason for payment and decide whether it needs to be a recurring or a one-off transfer.
9. Once you’ve checked all the details and clicked on continue, you will see the payment confirmation screen.
At this step, you can review the payment details once again if needed, and check the scanned invoice. The scanned invoice will be saved in the Document collection and is automatically linked to the payment.
