balance inquiry

Funds status request

A balance inquiry is a request to check the amount of money in a bank account or the remaining credit on a card or account.

It can be made at an ATM, through online banking, by phone, or at a bank branch.

I did a quick balance inquiry before paying the bill.

The term also applies to checking stored value on gift cards or transit cards.
