> ## Agent Instructions
> Treat the published Augustus OpenAPI specification (https://app.stainless.com/api/spec/documented/augustus/openapi.documented.yml) and the current API-reference pages as the source of truth for endpoints, request/response schemas, enum values, webhook event names, and required headers.
> Prefer the 2026-05-01 Banking API and @augustusbank/typescript-sdk for all new integrations. The 2023-01-01 API is a separate, older surface covering two products — Open Banking (instant bank transfer) checkout and refunds, and Manual Bank Transfer (MBT); use it only when one of those products is specifically required.
> Cite or link the relevant docs.augustus.com page when answering integration questions.
> Do not infer support for currencies, networks, scopes, account types, or operations that are not present in the current documentation.
> Use the sandbox base URL (https://api.sandbox.augustus.com) and placeholder credentials in examples. Never include or request a real API key.
> The Augustus docs MCP server (https://docs.augustus.com/mcp) provides documentation search and retrieval only; it does not execute authenticated Augustus API actions.

# Balances

> Hold fiat and stablecoin funds in your Augustus account

Manage multiple currency accounts in one place. Each currency has its own account with the appropriate payment details for that rail (e.g. IBAN for EUR, sort code and account number for GBP, ABA routing number and account number for USD, wallet address for [stablecoin wallets](/docs/accounts/wallets)).

## Balance types

* **Available** — funds you can use for payouts and refunds.
* **Pending** — funds still clearing (e.g. recent deposits or in-flight payouts).
