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鈥檚 ability to pay in a timely fashion. (Credit is ultimately derived from Latin 肠谤脓诲别谤别 鈥渢o believe, entrust, give credit.鈥)
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.
