Bookkeeping & Invoicing
Direct Reminder
If you have sales invoices that are overdue you can use Direct Reminder, which is a service free of charge from Visma Amili, where you get help with collecting payments for overdue invoices.
We take care of the late payment interest
The collected late payment interest is automatically paid out to you. The interest is charged from the due date on the outstanding invoice and is paid out after the payment has been received. The charged late payment interest is calculated according to the Interest Act and is at 8% + reference rate.
So, it is even better to hand over your overdue invoices now! And YES - this means we're all in for interest billing.
How do I get started?
- Go to More solutions.
- Select Direct Reminder.
- Choose Get started in the top right corner. Direct Reminder will now open in a new window.
The first time you use this feature you need to register your company. The company details are retrieved from Bookkeeping & Invoicing and when you have read and approved the service agreement you are redirected to the login page where you log in using the same credentials as for Bookkeeping & Invoicing. If you have several companies you have to switch between the companies in Bookkeeping & Invoicing and repeat the same steps for each company.
The next time you log into Direct Reminder, you can access it at paminnelse-direkt.se and save the page as a favourite in your browser.
When you log into Direct Reminder you can track the status of your issue from when the overdue sales invoice is retrieved until the issue is closed.
If you have any questions regarding your invoices, you can send an e-mail to Visma Amili: kundreskontra.collectors@visma.com.
Visma Amili will charge your customer with reminder fees and debt collection demands. Visma Amili also charges a commission on the capital if the case goes into follow-up, with a fixed maximum amount per case. Once the debt is paid, the late payment interest charged goes to you. You will find more specific information about the fees in the service agreement that you take part of when registering.
If you have used Direct Reminder to collect a debt, Visma Amili will compile what measures they have taken and send you an invoice. The invoice from Visma Amili relates to the reminder fees and debt collection demand that your customer has paid. When you register the invoice, you post the VAT to the ledger as input VAT on account 2641. That way it will be registered in the VAT report and will be of no cost to you. If the issue goes all the way to the Swedish Enforcement Authority, the invoice may also include additional fees.

The late payment interest is paid separately by Visma Amili to your Bankgiro, and you will receive supporting documentation via email from Visma Amili. In Bookkeeping & Invoicing, you then record the interest payment in Kassa- och bankhändelser. The interest is posted under account 8313 - Interest income from short-term receivables.
Please note that it is not possible to link the interest to a specific sales invoice. The interest must be posted to the ledger as a separate income.
You use the same login as for My Spiris/Bookkeeping & Invoicing. You can access Direct Reminder through More solutions or by saving the URL in your bookmarks bar.
The debt collection is sent 12 days after the reminder if the payment is still unpaid.
After a total of 24 days have passed and neither the reminder nor the debt collection claim has been paid, we check the “scoring”. That is, what payment ability the customer has so that we can decide if we can proceed to the Swedish Enforcement Authority.
One. Then it goes on to debt collection.
For private individuals, all reminders and debt collection claims are primarily sent to Kivra if the end customer has it. If the end customer does not have a digital mailbox registered, it will be sent via email, and if not, a regular letter will be sent.
For companies, all reminders and debt collection claims are primarily sent as e-invoices. If the company cannot receive e-invoices, they are sent by email, and if not, a regular letter is sent.
Yes, you cannot use Direct Reminder for foreign invoices, Rot/Rut invoices, or invoices in a currency other than SEK.
As soon as you have received your money, you register the invoice as paid in Bookkeeping & Invoicing, and as the invoice is paid in full, the case will be closed automatically. So, you don’t need to do anything in the Direct Reminder portal.
If the case has gone to collections, the case will not be closed in the portal when the invoice is registered as paid in Bookkeeping & Invoicing. Then you need to contact Visma Amili, and they will close the case. In connection with this, it is also closed in the portal. Visma Amili will then send a residual claim for the collection fee to the debtor, that is, your customer. If you want to bear this cost yourself, then notify this to Visma Amili by using the email address kundreskontra.collectors@visma.com.

Log in to Direct Reminder and close the case in the portal.
