a debit or a credit

Explanation:
The whole thing would be something like "Transfers can be either a debit or a credit and you can make a transfer by either accepting (receiving) a debit or by paying a credit (making a payment)". Please note my confidence level. HTH.

You can either be debited or credited when making a transfer // When making a transfer you can either be debited or credited i.e. both options are possible. This one's better than my original answer. Sorry, long day.
