Credit comes from the Latin word “credere,” which means trust. It is a mutual trust between the grantor and recipient of the credit. It involves a great deal of
trust and confidence in the ability, willingness and character of a “debtor” to deliver on its promises to the
“creditor,” according to agreed upon terms. Credit also implies a reciprocal trust that the creditor will deliver what was contracted or agreed upon. Thus, credit is “a cooperative function between seller and
buyer or between creditor and debtor.
