debitado

Debitado is a term used in Portuguese and Spanish financial contexts to indicate that an amount has been debited from an account or that a transaction has been recorded on the debit side of an account. In English, it corresponds to “debited” or “charged to.”

In accounting, to debitar means to record a debit entry. In double-entry bookkeeping, debits increase asset and expense accounts and decrease liability, equity, and revenue accounts. This delineation helps balance the accounting equation and reflects how different types of accounts respond to debit entries.

In banking and consumer finance, the term commonly appears on statements to indicate funds removed from an account. A “valor debitado” is the amount that has been debited, such as a debit-card purchase, a direct debit, or an automatic payment. The concept is distinct from a credit, which adds funds to an account.

Regional usage notes: In Portuguese, debitar and debitado are standard terms. In Spanish, the common noun is débito, while the verb form is less standardized and may be expressed as debitar in some contexts or described with related terms like cargo. Overall, debitado denotes the action or result of a debit in financial records, whether in accounting ledgers or bank statements.
