# Monthly statements

The Monthly Statement feature in the Ripple Payments UI provides pre-generated reports for RippleNet payments that use Ripple Payments Direct.

Note
Monthly Statement reports don't include data on fiat payments.

To retrieve data on fiat payments, apply filters to the Payments list view and click the Download button .

The Payment operations report provides basic payment data, including but not limited to:

- Payment ID
- Amount
- Currency
- Account info
- Payment state
- Timestamp


The Payment operations report lists one payment per line, but it doesn't provide the transaction data within payments. To view the complete list of fields and field descriptions, see the Payment operations [report data fields](#report-data-fields).
