What is the Difference Between My Available Balance and Present Balance?

Understanding the difference between your Available Balance and Present Balance can help you manage your funds effectively.

  • Available Balance: The portion of your funds that is immediately available for use. This reflects your current balance minus any pending transactions or authorization holds.
  • Present Balance: The total amount of funds in your account, including both available and pending transactions.

The difference between these balances is typically due to processing transactions, such as:

  • Pending purchases or payments that have not yet been fully processed.
  • Authorization holds placed by merchants before finalizing a transaction.

Keep an eye on your Available Balance to avoid overdrawing your account or making purchases that may not be immediately covered.
