# Retrieve the balance of a bank account

`GET /v1/payment-methods/{payment-method-id}/balance`

Zuora supports Plaid's Auth and Balance products for ACH transactions. 
Auth authenticates account details before sending requests to the gateway, 
while Balance checks the real-time account balance before transactions. 
Use this API operation to implement the integration with Plaid Balance manually.

Before you use this API operation, ensure that the support for Plaid Auth and Balance is enabled.
