credit balance

Money owed you

A credit balance is an amount owed to an account holder rather than by them.

In banking, it means funds available in your account.

On a credit card statement, a credit balance indicates the company owes you money—perhaps from overpayment or a refund: After returning the item, I had a credit balance of forty dollars.
