MORE ABOUT CREDIT
What does credit mean in credit management?
The term credit has several financial meanings,
but all of them are based on the confidence and trust
that lenders or vendors
have in an individual’s ability to pay in a timely fashion.
(Credit is ultimately derived from Latin crēdere
“to believe, entrust, give credit.”)
Credit can involve entrusting a buyer with goods or services
without requiring immediate payment.
Credit can also involve a transaction
in which a lender provides financing to a borrower
in return for future monthly repayments, usually including interest.
And if a person has a reputation for financial solvency and honesty,
we can say that he or she has good credit.
