# Add and manage funds

Add and manage funds on balance accounts.

[View source](/issuing/add-manage-funds.md)

Before a cardholder can use their card to make a payment, the balance account associated with the card needs to have enough funds.

You can get funds into balance accounts in the following ways:

* **External bank transfer**: you can send a bank transfer from your verified external transfer instrument (bank account) to your cardholder's balance account.
* **Internal funds transfer**: you can transfer funds between balance accounts within your balance platform.
* **Acquired payments**: if you acquire payments with Adyen, you can book the revenue from the payments to your cardholders' balance accounts.
