Credit, for example, includes money for issuing passes (9)
I believe the answer is:
ticketing
'for issuing passes' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'credit for example includes money' is the wordplay.
'credit' becomes 'tick' (on tick can mean purchased on credit).
'for example' becomes 'e.g.' (short for 'exempli gratia', 'for example' in Latin).
'includes' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'money' becomes 'tin' (old-fashioned slang term for money).
'eg' enclosing 'tin' is 'eting'.
'tick'+'eting'='TICKETING'
Can you help me to learn more?
