Electronic bills of exchange and CReM

E-bills of exchange

In accordance with the Decision of the National Bank of Serbia, dated December 1, 2025, the Central Register of Electronic Bills of Exchange (CReM) started its work.

According to this Decision, an electronic bill of exchange is also considered a bill of exchange, which represents a digital version of a bill of exchange in terms of the law governing the bill of exchange, with the provision "no protest" and which, as a set of data in electronic form, is kept, stored and used in the Central Registry of Electronic Bills of Exchange.

The Central Register of Electronic Bills of Exchange is a special software solution managed by the National Bank of Serbia, within which bills of exchange in electronic form are centrally recorded and where data about electronic bills of exchange and their use are stored.

Legal entities and entrepreneurs will be able to work with e-bills, which includes:

  • Overview of e-bills
  • Registration and transfer of e-bills
  • Acceptance of e-bills
  • Validation of e-bills
  • Endorsement of e-bills

  • Easier and Faster Collection

Creditors benefit from a simpler and more efficient collection process, while debtors can view the current status of the promissory note at any time.
