Funder Response File

This section describes the expected structure of the Funder Return File returned by a funder after processing the transactions provided in a Return File. Each row in the file represents the funder's outcome for a single transaction. 

The file should use semicolon delimiters and include the fields listed below.

If you require any help with the file format, reach out to our support team.

Example

The data below shows an example of what we expect the data in a funder response file to look like. Each row represents a transaction that has either been paid or rejected by the funder.

  • PaymentReference is required when the State is Paid.
  • PaymentReference should be left blank when the State is Rejected.
  • GrossValue should be formatted using UK number formatting, for example, 1000.00.

  • The CSV file should use semicolon delimiters, matching the existing B2B CSV file examples.
  • Each transaction submitted to the funder should have one corresponding row in the Funder Return File.
