TNT announces it will offer secured electronic invoices with digital signature in over 30 countries by the end of March 2008. Called ‘Express Invoicing’, the new service will be available for customers in most European countries, Australia, Singapore, Hong-Kong, South Africa, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates. TNT’s web-based e-invoicing solution is free of charge. TNT already offers e-invoices in 37 countries around the world, with another ten countries preparing to introduce the paperless invoice this year. TNT estimates that it could eventually eliminate up to one million paper invoices per month.

‘Electronic invoices save time, money and trees’, says Jan Willem Breen, Director Marketing and Sales of TNT’s Express division. ‘But with internet fraud on the rise, customers also ask for legally recognised techniques like digital signatures that authenticate the source of invoices and protect the documents’ integrity. TNT invests in technology to offer more convenience and security to its customers.’

For customers, TNT’s e-invoicing service reduces paper processing costs and improves the accounts payable management process. To benefit from the new service, all they need is an Internet connection and an e-mail account. TNT’s Express Invoicing offers an easy-to-use and secure method for accessing, controlling and archiving invoices. Instead of a paper invoice, TNT sends an e-mail to its customers directing them to a secure website, where they enter a password to access their downloadable electronic invoices.
