The bank has credited the account in error with $425 which belongs to another customer
“has credited” means:
bank has reduced the account of customer by 425$?
because,l have seen that the account of customer is the credit balance for the BankMay 19, 2018 at 8:57 pm #452889If the bank credits an account, this is an increase to the customer.
Think of the customer’s bank balance as a liability for the bank, and an asset for the customer. An increase in the account is a in increase in the liability for the bank, and from their point of view is a credit entry.
This is the opposite way round to how the customer would see it, because for them their assets have increased so it’s a debit entry.
