The CIS credit functioned as the monetary unit for numerous Separatist planets, having been launched into circulation by the InterGalactic Banking Clan. Through a non-exclusivity pact established with the Confederacy of Independent Systems, the IGBC ensured its continued presence in Republic financial markets, simultaneously strengthening the CIS credit's financial standing. Following the Battle of Bassadro, the CIS credit's worth surpassed half the value of a standard Republic credit within the Mid Rim, becoming the sole currency accepted across hundreds of worlds in the Outer Rim territories.
