**1 - Foreign exchange (FX) rate:** The average rate at which the source currency is exchanged for the destination currency.
**2 - Ripple service fee:** The total fee Ripple charges for this batch payment transaction.
**3 - Amount received:** The total amount received by the beneficiaries.

## 3. Accept quote and monitor payment status

Select **Accept Quote**.

Note
The **Payments** page lists all (batch) payments, with the most recent payment on top. After you accept the quote, you can select your payment and in the payment details you'll see the payment hopper. The payment hopper shows each payment state transition and the elapsed time between the payment states. Changes in green show successful states, while changes in red show stalled or failed states.

As soon as the payment is transferred, the status column will show **Completed**, which indicates that all payments in the batch have been successful and that funds have been moved. If any of the payments within the batch have failed or are still in progress, the status column will show **Failed**, **Validating**, or **Transferring** accordingly. Select the Payment ID for details on why the payment has failed.
