A debit is taken straight from the money you have in your bank account. A credit is taken, then the cost billed to you. With a debit, you pay now with no interest. With a credit, you pay later with possible interest added to it.
Interest in rates typically appears on the credit side of the trial balance when it represents income earned, such as interest received on investments. Conversely, if it represents an expense, like interest paid on loans, it would be recorded on the debit side. Therefore, its placement depends on whether the interest is an income or an expense for the period.
