I've been receiving and sending all my bills and invoices by e-mail for the last decade, without any need for some awesome or amazing system. I'm sure millions do the same.

How does one attach money to an email?

    You attach for example a PDF file with the invoice, including bank account number etc. The person receiving the invoice logs into his or her online bank and pays it.

    Since decent online banks will let you save the details of recipients, in practice it is very smooth and uncomplicated.

    You could also receive and send invoices by fax, and there's nothing wrong with that.

      In many cases that is just the bank printing a check that is mailed to the recipient.

      Sure, it works. But it's super slow and archaic. In the same way some people think people writing personal checks works, but others think its ridiculous.
