Hi @fahad_ashraf , The [Balance](https://developers.dwolla.com/concepts/balance-funding-source) is a Funding Source that gets systematically attached to Verified Customer records when the are created and have a status of “verified”. You don’t need to do anything other than ensuring that this end-user/Customer type has completed the identity verification process.

A bank can be added in a few different ways, 1) you can call the Dwolla API to [submit the bank details](https://developers.dwolla.com/api-reference/funding-sources/create-funding-source-for-customer) (account number, routing number and type). 2) you can utilize a third party provider such as [plaid](https://developers.dwolla.com/guides/plaid) which offers more of a instant auth option.

When you [list funding sources for an end-user/Customer record](https://developers.dwolla.com/api-reference/funding-sources/list-funding-sources-for-a-customer), you should be able to differentiate the two by looking at the value in the `type` field.
