| Abstract from DBPedia | Credit (from Latin verb credit, meaning "one believes") is the trust which allows one party to provide money or resources to another party wherein the second party does not reimburse the first party immediately (thereby generating a debt), but promises either to repay or return those resources (or other materials of equal value) at a later date. In other words, credit is a method of making reciprocity formal, legally enforceable, and extensible to a large group of unrelated people. The resources provided may be financial (e.g. granting a loan), or they may consist of goods or services (e.g. consumer credit). Credit encompasses any form of deferred payment. Credit is extended by a creditor, also known as a lender, to a debtor, also known as a borrower.販売信用（はんばいしんよう）とは、信販会社などが信用を供与した会員等の買い物代金を、立て替えて支払うこと。クレジットとも呼ぶ。 消費者信用の形態の一つ。割賦販売（かっぷはんばい）、個品斡旋、クレジットカードによる商品、サービスの購入が該当する。直接金銭を借りるわけではないが、借金の一種とみなすことができる。 (Source: http://dbpedia.org/resource/Credit) |
