/**
 * A balanced-client example
 *
 * Steps:
 *   Creates a customer
 *   Creates a bank account
 *   Associates bank account with customer
 *   Requests bank account verification
 *   Verifies account
 *   Confirms account `can_debit` is true
 *
 * Uses some super basic flow control, similar to async series.
 * See the main function at end for this.
