Money and Credit Concept Map Overview

A money and credit concept map organizes how money works in an economy and how people borrow and lend. Money has three main functions: a medium of exchange, a unit of account, and a store of value. Credit lets people use future income today, through loans, bonds and credit cards, and its cost is shown as interest.

  • Functions of money: medium of exchange, unit of account, store of value
  • Forms of money: commodity money, fiat currency, bank deposits
  • Credit types: consumer loans, mortgages, business credit, bonds
  • Interest: the price of borrowing, set as a rate over time
  • Credit risk: default, collateral and credit scores

Use the map to review each branch before an exam, or to check how a loan connects to interest and risk. You can also build a personalized map from your own notes with CogniGuide.
