A credit in an accounting sense is part of the most fundamental concepts in accounting, representing a side of each individual transaction recorded in any accounting system. A credit indicates that a transaction has occurred in which a liability or a gain was caused. A credit transaction can be used to decrease a debit balance or increase a credit balance.
