Peppol Network Reaches 400 Certified Access Points Across Europe
OpenPeppol announced the network has surpassed 400 certified access points in Europe, marking a tipping point for cross-border B2B e-invoice exchange without bilateral agreements.
OpenPeppol announced in March 2026 that its European network has crossed the milestone of 400 certified access points — a figure that marks a genuine tipping point for cross-border e-invoicing adoption.
Why 400 Matters
The Peppol network operates like a postal system for structured invoices: each business registers with a Peppol ID, and any certified access point can send or receive compliant documents on its behalf. At 400 certified access points:
- Coverage: Every significant EU member state has at least two competing certified providers
- Redundancy: Businesses can switch access points without losing their Peppol ID
- Competition: Pricing has fallen significantly since the early days of the network (2012–2018)
Growth by Country
| Country | Access Points | Growth (2024–2026) |
| --------- | :------------: | :------------------: |
| Germany | 62 | +28% |
| Italy | 41 | +19% |
| France | 38 | +41% |
| Netherlands | 35 | +12% |
| Poland | 22 | +83% |
Poland's rapid growth reflects the KSeF mandate — many providers quickly obtained Peppol certification alongside KSeF integration to offer businesses a single connectivity layer.
What This Means for SMEs
Previously, Peppol access points were primarily used by large enterprises. The growth of cloud-native, SME-focused providers — like Storecove, Pagero, and country-specific solutions — has brought costs down to below €30/month for typical SME volumes.
For businesses invoicing across EU borders, registering with a Peppol access point is now the most practical path to format-agnostic, cross-border e-invoice delivery.
