Credit can mean two things:

  1. when a bank gives you money and trusts you to pay it back by a certain date. For example, you might have a credit limit of $1000 on your credit card. This means that you can spend up to $1000 because the bank thinks you will be able to pay it back.
  2. when you have paid more money for something than you needed to. Credit is the extra money you paid.
