Balances

Use the /balances endpoint to retrieve the following general purpose account (GPA) balance details for a user or business:

  • Available balance - The ledger balance minus any authorized transactions that have not yet cleared. Also known as the cardholder’s purchasing power. If you are using JIT Funding, this balance is usually 0.00.

  • Cached balance - Not currently used.

  • Credit balance - Not currently used.

  • Pending credits - ACH loads that have been accepted, but for which the funding time has not yet elapsed.
