## Check account balances

Before you send assets, you can check the amount of the asset that is available to send. This depends on a number of factors, including the current status of any transactions associated with the asset.

For more information, see [Transaction statuses](/products/custody/v1.19/overview/blockchain/transactions/transaction-processing#transaction-statuses).

Account balances for an asset are made up of the following amounts:

- **Total balance**: Total balance as reported by the blockchain, consisting of:
  - **Reserved**: Balance that is currently allocated but not available for spending, including amounts and fees for any transactions that are initiated but not yet executed. The reserved amount can only be used for special transactions, such as emptying the wallet, and in some blockchain-specific scenarios.
If a transaction is between broadcast and on-chain confirmation, the reserved amount is not included in the total.
  - **Quarantined**: Balance of incoming transfers that are not yet released from quarantine.

Ripple Custody updates the total balance with a call to the blockchain in the following scenarios:
  - During account creation, Ripple Custody verifies any existing balances for the generated key on the blockchain.
  - When a user forces an account balance update.
  - When Ripple Custody detects either an incoming or outgoing transaction on the account, according to the conventions of the blockchain. For more information on the `Detected` status, see [Transaction statuses](/products/custody/v1.19/overview/blockchain/transactions/transaction-processing#transaction-statuses).
You can only force account balance updates with the Ripple Custody API.
For more information, see [Force an account balance update](/products/custody/v1.19/api/accounting-entities/account/balances#force-an-account-balance-update) in the Ripple Custody API guide.


To view the account balance:

1. Navigate to **Accounts**.
  - In the account overview, you can see the **Highest balance** available.
2. To view a breakdown of the balance, click the account.
