SCS Invoices are now being sent electronically

Dear Members,

In August 2025 the SCS implemented a new member and business platform and replaced its IT core system that was used since 2012.

Please note that all invoices issued by SCS, including the annual membership invoices, are now directly sent via email from our financial platform, Bexio (). We are aware that there are many phishing and spam emails circulating, but we ask for your understanding that electronic processing is significantly more efficient and sustainable.

Therefore we kindly ask you to also check your spam or junk folder to ensure receipt. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Best regards,
David Spichiger
Executive Director, SCS
