transactionAmount: string | null;
transactionType: 'debit' | 'credit' | null;
balance: IBalance | null;
}

interface IBalance {
available: string | null;
outstanding: string | null;
}

interface IAccountInfo {
type: IAccountType | null;
number: string | null;
name: string | null;
}

enum IAccountType {
CARD = 'CARD',
WALLET = 'WALLET',
ACCOUNT = 'ACCOUNT',
}

const sms =
'INR 2000 debited from A/c no. XX3423 on 05-02-19 07:27:11 IST at ECS PAY. Avl Bal- INR 2343.23.';
