Unable to Load Account Balance

You may be unable to load an account balance due to incorrect account information, internet connection issues, problems with syncing an application, an account freeze due to compliance concerns, or other technical issues.

Of course, the specific reason that applies to your situation will depend on the type of account balance you are trying to load, how you are trying to view the balance, and whether any of the specific reasons above apply to your situation.

How Do I Check My Bank Balance?

There are 5 ways to check a bank balance, including online banking, mobile banking, telephone banking, ATM verification, or visiting a branch in person.

How to Check a Bank Account Balance

  • Online banking
  • Telephone banking
  • Mobile banking
  • ATM verification
  • Visiting a branch

Of course, there are other options you can use to check your bank balance as well, including reviewing physical bank statements and reviewing account passbooks.

However, these options do not provide a current balance for the account. Instead, they provide a snapshot of your balance at a specific point in time.

That said, if no additional withdrawals or deposits have not taken place since that point in time, then the balance is correct. If withdrawals or deposits have taken place, then the balance will no longer be accurate.

If you continue to be unable to load an account balance, there are ways to overcome the problem. The fastest and most effective way is to visit your financial institution in person and speak with a teller.
