I guess you could have a stored procedure that checks for balanced transactions before inserting (or before committing, at least), with SECURITY DEFINER, and not give anybody else permissions to insert or modify the transaction lines table.

Without a code, there is a pretty high risk of an attacker social engineering an account holder into sending an email. I haven't really thought this through (what an attacker would gain), just want to point out the general risk.
