You can check the current balance available on a card using the [Get card balance](/api-reference/cards/get-v1-cards-card-id-balance) endpoint:

```bash title="check card balance request"
curl --request GET \
     --url https://api.gravv.xyz/v1/cards/<card id>/balance \
     --header 'Api-Key: <API_KEY>'
```

You will receive a response showing the current balance:

```json title="check card balance response"
{
  "data": {
    "balance": 22
  },
  "error": null
}
```

The balance is displayed in USD and represents the total funds available for card transactions.

* before initiating large transactions to ensure sufficient funds
