Check account balances

Use inquiryBalance API to send a request to WorldFirst to query the details of your account balance. For example:

• After making a prefunding deposit to your WorldFirst account, you can call the inquiryBalance API to check if prefunding is successful.
• Before making a transfer request, you can call the inquiryBalance API to check whether the account balance is sufficient.

In the event of changes in the account balances, WorldFirst will always send a notification of the change via the notifyVostro API, regardless of whether inquiryBalance is called.
