available_balance = property(get_available_balance, None)

Default Value

Remarks

This is the amount of money available from a given account.

Credit card balances differ from bank account balances in that they are always negative. Since credit is money-on-loan and must be paid back, it is best thought of as a negative. The ledger_balance reflects how much money the user has already spent under that account and must pay back to the financial institution. available_balance indicates how much more money is available to the user to borrow until they must pay the ledger balance.

Note: the financial institution usually returns amounts as a string that includes the sign (+/-) of the amount. However, the server may sometimes leave out a particular field if it is not required by the OFX specification. To avoid confusion that can be caused by returning integers, the class will return all amount types as a string, with the empty string ("") for fields not returned by the server.

Where there is a value returned by the server, the class will attempt to convert the string into a format that can be easily parsed into an integer value. This behavior can be controlled by the CurrencyFormat config setting. .

This property is read-only.
