# Adds Balance Transaction types for provisional credits for Issuing disputes

## What’s new

Adds two values to the [type](https://docs.stripe.com/api/balance_transactions/object.md?api-version=2026-09-30.endive#balance_transaction_object-type) property of [Balance Transactions](https://docs.stripe.com/api/balance_transactions/object.md?api-version=2026-09-30.endive) to represent money movement related to [provisional credits for Issuing disputes](https://docs.stripe.com/issuing/purchases/disputes/provisional-credits.md):

- `issuing_dispute_provisional_credit` represents a temporary credit granted to the Issuing balance when a dispute is submitted.
- `issuing_dispute_provisional_credit_reversal` represents the reversal of that provisional credit at dispute resolution.

Both values are available as filters when you [list Balance Transactions](https://docs.stripe.com/api/balance_transactions/list.md?api-version=2026-09-30.endive#balance_transaction_list-type). Each type has a corresponding [reporting_category](https://docs.stripe.com/api/balance_transactions/object.md?api-version=2026-09-30.endive#balance_transaction_object-reporting_category) for differentiation in Balance Reports. The existing `issuing_dispute` type continues to represent the final credit for a won dispute.

## Impact

If your integration filters or processes Balance Transactions by `type`, you may encounter the `issuing_dispute_provisional_credit` and `issuing_dispute_provisional_credit_reversal` values in API responses. These values also appear in SDK type definitions and OpenAPI specs. To adapt your integration:

- Update any code that depends on `type` to handle the two additional values, especially if your code raises errors on unrecognised types.
- If applicable, adjust reconciliation workflows to use these new types to distinguish provisional credit movements from final dispute credits.
- Review [Balance reports](https://docs.stripe.com/reports/balance.md) that rely on reporting categories, because each type has its own corresponding `reporting_category`.
