Source-derived summary

eFaktura is a Norwegian electronic billing system issued by Nets Branch Norway AS (Nets). The system involves both business-to-customer (B2C) systems, branded as eFaktura, and business-to-business (B2B) branded as eFaktura B2B. The system is built upon the bankgiro system used for online banking.

Use of eFaktura require the customer to use an online banking system from a Norwegian bank. Because all banks are connected to BBS, there is no discrimination between customers of different banks. Any company or organisation can sign an eFaktura agreement with their bank (though usually for a typically five-digit NOK startup fee) and send electronic bills to any client as long as they have a Norwegian online banking account. There is no requirement for the two to use the same bank. The ordinary eFaktura includes a specification of the bill, and the entire bill or invoice can be seen in the online banking system, and printed if so desired. eFaktura was launched in 2000.

For companies the eFaktura B2B has been developed. Companies using electronic billing need to be able to import the invoice directly into the accounting software of the company.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as norwegian electronic billing system. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 11, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5323021. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2000.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
