You will need this account object for many further operations to show which account you want to operate on.

Fetching bank information

This method will return a list of ``Balance`` objects from the ``mt-940`` library. You can find more information
in `their documentation <https://mt940.readthedocs.io/en/latest/mt940.html#mt940.models.Balance>`_.

+Upgrading from python-fints 1.x
+===============================
+
+This library has seen a major rewrite in version 2.0 and the API has changed in a lot of places. These are the most
+important changes to know:
+
+* The ``get_statement`` method was renamed to ``get_transactions``. → :ref:`transactions`
+
+* The ``start_simple_sepa_transfer`` method was renamed to ``simple_sepa_transfer`` and no longer takes a TAN method
+ and TAN medium description as an argument. → :ref:`transfers`
+
+* The ``start_sepa_transfer`` method was renamed to ``sepa_transfer`` and no longer takes a TAN method and TAN
+ medium description as an argument. The new parameter ``pain_descriptor`` should be passed with the version of the
+ PAIN format, e.g. ``urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:pain.001.001.03``. → :ref:`transfers`
+
+* The ``start_sepa_debit`` method was renamed to ``sepa_debit`` and no longer takes a TAN method and TAN
+ medium description as an argument. The new parameter ``pain_descriptor`` should be passed with the version of the
+ PAIN format, e.g. ``urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:pain.008.003.01``. Also, a new paramter ``cor1`` is optionally
+ available. → :ref:`debits`
+
+* Working with TANs has changed a lot. ``get_tan_methos`` has been renamed to ``get_tan_mechanisms`` and has a new
+ return data type. The chosen TAN method is now set on a client level with ``set_tan_mechanism`` and
+ ``set_tan_medium``. You can find more informations in the chapter :ref:`tans` and a full example in the chapter
+ :ref:`transfers`.
+
+* Debug logging output now contains parsed syntax structures instead of data blobs and is much easier to read.
+
+* A new parser for FinTS has been added that is more robust and performs more validation.
+
+In exchange, you get a couple of great new features:
+
+* A new method :func:`fints.client.FinTS3Client.get_information` was added. → :ref:`information`
+
+* It is now possible to serialize and store the state of the client to enable multi-step operations in a stateless
+ environment. → :ref:`client-state`
