This seems to be a question in which people would have to hack the account to find out. I suspect you will not get a satisfactory answer
The available balance refers to the cash that can be withdrawn from the given account. The ledger balance on the other hand refers to the amount that is available in the account.
If you regularly check and balance your account, you know how much money you have available so you can budget better. It also helps you to see where your money is going and lets you discipline your spending.

To prevent overdraft fees, you can monitor your account balance regularly, set up alerts for low balances, link your checking account to a savings account for overdraft protection, and track your spending to avoid exceeding your available funds.
Your available balance may not match your current account balance because some transactions, like pending deposits or withdrawals, may not have been fully processed yet. This can temporarily affect the amount of money you can access in your account.
The amount of money available in an account is usually referred to as the "balance" of the account. The cash balance may be positive or negative.
If there's no credit balance in your account, it means that you currently do not have any available funds or credit to use for transactions. This could occur due to previous spending, payments, or insufficient deposits. It's essential to review your account activity or make a deposit to restore your balance. If you need further assistance, contacting your bank or service provider may help clarify the situation.
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.
The account balance will reflect any payments made into the account providing the account is on real time banking. So if you pay in any cheques the account balance will reflect this. The available balance will take into consideration any earmarks on the debit card which are due to debit and also any cheques you may have paid in that are at the moment still uncleared on the account.
When both your current balance and available balance are negative, it indicates that you have overdrafted your account, meaning you have spent more money than you have available. This situation can result from pending transactions or fees that exceed your account balance. It's essential to address this promptly to avoid additional overdraft fees and potential account restrictions. Consider depositing funds to bring your balance back to a positive state.
