Spanish term or phrase: número -- balance?

Hi there, this is a text from a bank telling its potential customers about different types of account:
"Libreta de ahorro
Con los números siempre a la vista.
Si lo que te gusta es tener siempre a mano tus números, la Libreta de Ahorro es tu soporte, ya que siempre que quieras la puedes actualizar y tener ‘’impresas’’ tus cuentas"

Could this be translated as balance here?

I like figures, too. You could use both balance and fingertips interchangeably

Sorry! I meant \"balance at a glance\" and \"figures at your fingertips\" interchangeably
