What is Peppol?
Peppol (Pan-European Public Procurement On-Line) is a standardised network for the secure exchange of electronic documents, such as invoices, between businesses and public administrations across Europe. It simplifies and standardises the e-invoicing process, making B2B and B2G (Business to Government) exchanges easier, particularly for cross-border transactions.
💡 The identification process is essential to ensure absolute security for our users on the Peppol network:
Preventing identity theft: without robust verification, someone could impersonate you and issue legal invoices in your name.
Protecting your tax data: the Peppol network handles highly sensitive information. Verification ensures that only you have access to managing these financial flows.
Legal compliance: as a certified platform, we are required to follow strict security protocols to protect the integrity of all our users.
Traditional methods like phone calls or simple signatures are no longer enough today to counter sophisticated fraud risks.
