When processing payments with Mollie, we put all pending funds — usually minus Mollie fees — on a balance. Once you have linked a bank account to your Mollie account, we can pay out your balance towards this bank account.

With the Balances API you can retrieve your current balance. The response includes two amounts:

• The pending amount. These are payments that have been marked as paid, but are not yet available on your balance.
• The available amount. This is the amount that you can get paid out to your bank account, or use for refunds.

With instant payment methods like iDEAL, payments are moved to the available balance instantly. With slower payment methods, like credit card for example, it can take a few days before the funds are available on your balance. These funds will be shown under the pending amount in the meanwhile.
