How it's used
Used primarily in formal banking contexts, such as on statements or when discussing financial records. While it refers to the remaining amount, it is more technical than simply saying 錢 or 存款. You will often see it printed on ATM receipts or digital banking interfaces.

Common mistake
Learners often confuse this with 餘額, which is also used for account balances but is more common in general Mandarin and written Chinese. In spoken Cantonese, people often just use 錢 or 存款 when talking casually about their balance.
