# balance

From **Stripe API**.

This is an object representing your Stripe balance. You can retrieve it to see
the balance currently on your Stripe account.

You can also retrieve the balance history, which contains a list of
[transactions](https://stripe.com/docs/reporting/balance-transaction-types) that contributed to the balance
(charges, payouts, and so forth).

The available and pending amounts for each currency are broken down further by
payment source types.
