What are balance types?

By accumulating pre-defined balances you can easily track different types of balances. Each balance type contains the total balance of a selected group of technical accounts for a card account. The data represents a snapshot that is taken during the end of day process that is run at midnight 24:00 UTC. The Account_Balance_Type files contain the AVAILABLE balance for all accounts every day. The other balances are only available incrementally, i.e. when they have changed. For example: Day 1
  • AVAILABLE : 1000€
  • Cardholder makes a purchase for 100€ (settled the same day)
Day 2
  • AVAILABLE: 900€
  • TOTAL_BALANCE: 100€
  • Cardholder pays off the 100€ balance
Day 3
  • AVAILABLE: 1000€
  • TOTAL_BALANCE: 0€
    • Balance types with zero amount are included in the case they have changed to zero since the previous day.
  • The following balance types are available in the Account_Balance_Type file:
