# Verify balances

Spot-check account balance positions across your balance platform.

[View source](/payouts/payout-service/reconciliation-use-cases/verify-balances.md)

There can be various reasons to keep track of the account balances in your balance platform. For example, to make an on-demand pay out [to a user's third-party bank account](/payouts/payout-service/pay-out-to-bank-accounts), or to a [user's third-party card](/payouts/payout-service/pay-out-to-cards/card-payout-request), you need to know how much cash is available on the balance account of that user.

To check the balance positions on the balance accounts of your users, you can:

* [Use the Balance Platform Balance report](#use-balance-report) to view daily balances.\
  The Balance report shows the opening and closing balances in your balance platform **on a given day** for all account holders, balance accounts , and balance account currencies.

## View balances

To view the daily balances on the accounts in your balance platform:

1. [Get the Balance Platform Balance Report](/payouts/payout-service/prepare-reports/generate-download-reports) for a specific date.
2. Filter the report to get the information you are looking for.

You can also view your payout account's balance in real time using Adyen's Configuration API.\
To do so, make a GET [/balanceAccounts/{id}](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/balanceplatform/latest/get/balanceAccounts/\(id\)) request, specifying the `id` of your balance account as a path parameter.
