Account Balance is the total amount deposited in the account.
Available Balance is the amount of money in your account that is not subject to a Temporary Hold. There can be a 'Hold' placed on portions for various reasons, placing some of your money in limbo--it's still yours but you can't spend it yet:
1. Deposits can take a while to clear, while the bank makes sure that the checks are valid.This can take 1-10 days to clear, depending on the deposit type and amount. (The maximum time is regulated by federal law.)
2. Some retailers (such as restaurants and gas stations) will run your debit card through for a larger amount, since they don't know how much your final tab will be, depending on how much you tip your server, or how big your gas tank is. Even after your transaction is completed it may take up to 3 days for the "hold" to clear your account.
3. When renting a car with a debit card, they will place a hold on your security deposit, only actually taking the money out of your account if you don't pay your bill or if you damage the vehicle.

What is the difference between a current balance and an available balance on a checking account?
I am not a banking expert, but my understanding is that - say you have 100$ in your account and you pay in a cheque for another 100$, then your current balance will be 200$ but your available balance will be 100$ until the cheque clears (when the available balance will match the current balance). This protects the bank from someone paying in a cheque that may 'bounce' and withdrawing money that never gets put into the account.
