###### Settlement files are generated for each payment run and contain all transactions and fees for a transaction. They are provided in the formats CSV.

The settlement files can be retrieved through our **SFTP connection** and are generated for each payment run.

## SFTP

To set up the SFTP connection, please follow these steps: [SFTP](/docs/developer/sftp/secure_data_exchange_with_ratepay/)

The settlement files are stored on the SFTP server as a CSV file under the following path: **/from_ratepay/settlement_report/**

Each settlement file will be removed from this path after 30 days and copied to
**/archive/settlement_report/**
