# Balance Creation

To create balances, you can use the POST /balance method. The user needs to specify the currency of the balance.

{% hint style="danger" %}
<mark style="color:red;">**Important**</mark><mark style="color:red;">: Balances do not have a state, and once created, they cannot be removed from the system.</mark>
{% endhint %}

Example of creating a balance:

```json
POST /balance

{
  "currency": "usd"
}
```

Response example:

```json
{
  "id": "19720852-be40-489a-a3b3-985f51a0458c"
}
```
