The Federation credit is the monetary unit of the United Federation of Planets.
As of the 23rd century, the Federation abandoned the normal use of money, favoring a philosophy of self-enhancement for all. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home; and Star Trek: First Contact)
Despite this, the Federation retained a currency based economic system, involving the use of computer-based "Credits". (TOS episode: The Trouble With Tribbles)
By the 24th century, the majority of non-Federation worlds in the Alpha and Beta Quadrants adopted a monetary system backed by Gold-Pressed Latinum. The Federation government eventually adopted an exchange rate between Credits and Latinum, so as to further encourage free trade between member and non-member worlds.
In the 24th century, some establishments would not accept Federation Credits.
In the early 25th century, Star Fleet officers were paid in Federation Credits on a monthly basis. The Pay Scale can be found here.
