# Adds new balance transaction types to support minimum balance

## What’s new

This update introduces two new [balance transaction types](https://docs.stripe.com/reports/balance-transaction-types.md#balance_related) to support payout reconciliation for Stripe accounts that limit automatic payouts by setting a minimum balance.

## Impact

The `payout_minimum_balance_hold` transaction type is a negative value representing the amount withheld from a payout to maintain an account’s minimum balance. The `payout_minimum_balance_release` transaction type is a positive value representing the amount added back to the account balance, and always corresponds to the hold value from the same payout. For example, if an account with a minimum balance of 100 USD contains 1000 USD to pay out, a `payout_minimum_balance_hold` of -100 USD is applied to the payout, resulting in a payout of 900 USD. Then, a matching `payout_minimum_balance_release` of 100 USD is added to the account balance.
