Meanwhile on Netbank...

This is an extract from a screenshot of my internet banking website, half an hour ago:

  1. Can't make sense of it, but the only thing I can come up with is Credit and Debit.
    Any prizes for the right guess :) ?

  3. RT: Correct! You may have a cookie (and bonus cookie if you know where this is from :) )

    Anon: I don't think the DR has anything to do with withdrawals. My old accounting lecturer told me that DR was picked from D for debit and the R was tacked on for trivial consistency's sake.

    Now the hard part - what is their significance?
