How do I check my account balance in the Online Bank?

You can check your account balance in the Online bank. When you log in to the Online bank, you can see your account balance on the start page. Pay attention to two key balances:
Balance: this is the total amount in your account, including any reserved sums for pending transactions.
Available Balance: the real amount in your account that you can use for spending
Bear in mind that these two may differ. 

To see how much you have reserved, click on the account that interests you, and you will see your transactions. You can also go to Accounts and Cards and select the account you want there.

When you click on Reserved Amount, you will see a list of transactions for which the funds have been reserved, but not yet transferred. This means that you have physically made the transaction, but the retailer has not yet submitted an application for the transfer of funds.
