Credit balances are the total of funds borrowed, typically from a broker, and then that are deposited into the margin account after the success of the short sale.

A margin account that has only short positions will display an account balance.

The amount of the credit balance includes both the proceeds of the sale itself as well as the margin amount that the buyer must put in pursuant to Regulation T. 1
