# Transaction History

> View, search, and filter all your past payments on Bila.

The **Recent Payments** table on your Payments dashboard gives you a full record of every transaction on your account. You can search, filter, and drill into individual transactions for full details.

## Step 1: Open the Payments Dashboard

Click **Payments** in the left sidebar.

## Step 2: Locate the Recent Payments Table

Scroll down to the **Recent Payments** section. Each row shows:

| Column              | What It Shows                                                 |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Customer**        | The recipient's name or mobile number                         |
| **Amount**          | The transaction value in ZMW                                  |
| **Transaction ID**  | A unique reference ID for the transfer                        |
| **Date**            | The date and time the payment was initiated                   |
| **Approval Status** | Whether the transfer is `Approved` or `Pending approval`      |
| **Status**          | The current state: `Processed`, `Awaiting Funds`, or `Failed` |
| **Actions**         | Click the eye icon to view full transaction details           |

## Step 3: Search or Filter

Use the tools above the table to find a specific transaction:

| Tool               | How to Use                                                                         |
| ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Search bar**     | Type a customer name, phone number, or transaction ID                              |
| **Status filters** | Click **All**, **Processed**, **Awaiting Funds**, or **Failed** to narrow the list |

## Step 4: View Full Transaction Details

Click the **eye icon** on any row to open the full detail view for that transaction. The detail panel shows the complete transaction ID, recipient, amount, fee, timestamp, approval status, and payment status.

<Tip>
  Copy the full Transaction ID from the detail view when contacting Bila support about a specific payment. It helps our team locate the transaction immediately.
