I am a corporate customer and would like to use “purchase on account” via Billie. Why is my company name not displayed at checkout?
To verify your purchase on account, Billie compares the customer data provided by you with the data from Billie’s credit agencies. If Billie cannot find the customer data in the credit agencies, your company name will usually not be displayed or you will be offered a different name suggestion in the check-out window.

For self-employed persons or companies with the legal form GbR, the information is unfortunately not always verifiable in the credit agencies. In this case, please enter your first and last name in the check-out window. This enables real-time verification via SCHUFA scoring and thus check-out via Billie.
