Yes, liabilities and expenses typically have a normal credit balance. Liabilities are accounts that represent obligations owed to others and increase with credits. Expenses, on the other hand, usually carry a normal debit balance, meaning they increase with debits and decrease with credits. Thus, while liabilities have a credit balance, expenses do not; they primarily have a debit balance.

A credit is not the normal balance for asset accounts and expense accounts. Assets typically have a normal debit balance, meaning they increase with debits and decrease with credits. Similarly, expenses also increase with debits and decrease with credits, making credits the opposite of their normal balance. In contrast, liability and equity accounts normally have credit balances.
A liability account normally has a credit balance.
Interest payable is liability account and have a credit balance as a normal balance.
