# Balance

## Endpoints

### Retrieve balance

- [GET /v1/balance](https://docs.stripe.com/api/balance/balance_retrieve.md)

## Events

- `balance.available`
Occurs whenever your Stripe balance has been updated (e.g., when a charge is available to be paid out). By default, Stripe automatically transfers funds in your balance to your bank account on a daily basis. This event is not fired for negative transactions.

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

The top-level `available` and `pending` comprise your “payments balance.”
