# Overview

> Profiles hold asset balances, and every Paxos transaction is on a particular profile.

Depending on your integration type, Profiles may be used to reflect both corporate balances or individual user balances.

## Profile Types

There are two types of Profiles:

* **`DEFAULT`** Profiles are system-generated.
* **`NORMAL`** Profiles are created using the [Create Profile](/api-reference/endpoints/profiles/create-profile) endpoint and are the only type of Profile you can create.
