Hi Simone
Just in case you're still not sure..........money going into the bank will be debit, as this is income (Asset & Expense's are Debits, this is an asset, because it's income money owed) the other side - the credit - will clear off the customer account.
When a sale is made, this is an income..........Incomes and Liabilities are Credits. So the sale itself is a credit, but if the client hasn't yet paid, the other side of the sale credit becomes a debit because it's now a debtors asset - money owed to the company.
When this is paid, it credits the 'debtors' asset, to clear this, hence the other side is a debit to the bank.
Hope this helps.
Carol
