    - `balance` number, float, required — For debit accounts, this is the available balance to spend, meaning the total of all posted transactions with all pending transactions subtracted out. For credit accounts this is the unpaid balance.
    - `available_balance` number, float, required — For debit accounts, this is the total of all posted transactions with all pending transactions subtracted out. Also known as the "open to buy." See <a href="doc:account-balances#available-balance" target="_blank">Available balance</a> for details. For credit accounts, this is the amount remaining of the credit limit.
    - `balance_without_pending` string, required — For debit accounts, the total of all posted transactions with only pending authorizations subtracted out. For credit accounts this is the same as `balance`.
    - `currency_code` string, required — A three-digit ISO 4217 code for the currency of the account. All amounts in this response are in this currency.
    - `pending_adjustments` number, float, nullable, required — **To be deprecated**: This field will always be `0`.
    - `pending_billpay` number, float, nullable, required — The total amount of pending bill payments. A bill payment is pending between the time it is created and when the amount is adjusted out of the account.
    - `pending_purchase` number, float, nullable, required — **To be deprecated**: This field will always be `0`.
    - `balance_without_auths` number, float — The `balance` without subtracting out authorization holds. This field is populated only when the BWOOA parameter is set.
