The amount of money available in a bank account at a specific point in time.
An account balance is the net amount in your bank account after all transactions have been processed. Bank statements typically show an opening balance (at the start of the period), a closing balance (at the end), and sometimes a running daily balance. Understanding your account balance is essential for budgeting, avoiding overdrafts, and financial planning. When converting statements to CSV, balance columns (if present) are included in the output.
Banks distinguish between several balance types: available balance (immediately accessible funds), current/ledger balance (including pending transactions), and collected balance (cleared funds only). Statements typically report the ledger balance. Running balances on statements are calculated as: previous balance + credits - debits = new balance. Some banks show running balances per transaction; others only show opening and closing balances. CSV output includes balance columns when they exist in the source PDF.
