To stick with the functions you have already written, print(account_balance)
could (should?) be replaced by balance(account_balance)
As mentioned by others, the naming of that function is a little clunky.
Changing to print_balance() would be a little clearer what it actually
does (and explains why you would use it rather than just a simple print
statement).
