An Outstanding Balance is the amount of money currently owed on a debt. This figure represents the total unpaid portion of a loan, credit card, or other financial liability at any given time.
A payment on account is an advance payment or part payment towards an outstanding balance or debt, typically not linked to any specific invoice. It is often used in ongoing business relationships where frequent transactions occur.
