# Understanding Balance Consolidation

WEpayments is implementing **balance unification** – combining Payin (incoming) and Payout (outgoing) balances into a single consolidated balance. This update simplifies financial management by providing a more complete and integrated view of all movements.

## What changes?

| **Before**                                    | **After**                                                   |
| :-------------------------------------------- | :---------------------------------------------------------- |
| Payin and Payout balances shown separately    | **Single unified balance**                                  |
| Separate statements for each transaction type | **All transactions in one statement** (Account > Statement) |
| No consolidated view of total funds           | **Clear, bank-statement-like format**                       |

### In the new unified statement:

* **Payout transactions** appear as **debits**
* **Payin transactions** appear as **credits**
* **Fees** and other transaction types are detailed, similar to a bank statement

## Key benefits

| **Benefit**               | **What it means for you**                            |
| :------------------------ | :--------------------------------------------------- |
| **Consolidated view**     | Monitor total balance and all movements in one place |
| **Simplified experience** | Easier to understand and manage your transactions    |
| **Automation ready**      | New API endpoints make integration practical         |

## API integration (V2)

New endpoints are available in our V2 API documentation:

| **Endpoint**      | **Purpose**                            |
| :---------------- | :------------------------------------- |
| **Get balance**   | Retrieve the unified balance           |
| **Get statement** | Fetch consolidated transaction history |

> 💡 If you currently use automation based on separate Payin/Payout statements, we recommend adapting to the new unified format.

## Impact on reconciliation

With consolidated balance:

* All incoming and outgoing transactions are integrated into **a single balance**
* Both credits and debits are accounted for together
* No need to monitor separate balances for each transaction type
