In an example embodiment, a method for updating a database with dimensional balancing comprises receiving a transaction request to transfer a portion of a first balance from the first balance to a second balance; determining a subset of the first balance less than or equal to the portion in the first balance compliant with dimensional rules based on one or more attributes of the subset and an identifier of an account holding the second balance; moving the determined subset from the first balance to the second balance; and updating attributes of the moved subset in the second balance.
