# Get Account Balances
source: https://developer.mastercard.com/open-banking-connect/documentation/aisfeatures/get-account-balances/index.md

## Request overview {#request-overview}

The goal of this request is to retrieve from the Account Servicing Payment Service Provider (ASPSP), using the `consentId` which is part of previously obtained consent object, the account balances for a specific `accountId`. This flow assumes the Payment Service User (PSU) has already consented to this access and the ASPSP system stores this record of consent or `consentId`. For more information, see [Account Information Consent Request](https://developer.mastercard.com/open-banking-connect/documentation/aisfeatures/account-information-consent/index.md).
