bartering works primarily off credit

How is this "credit" not just a form of currency? Isn't it just a stand-in for the value of your cows that you want to trade?

Doing so inherently creates a high-trust society.

High trust maybe, but extremely localized. It requires that a person who wants to trade knows the reputation - the credit rating - of every other person they might trade with. This model of trade can't scale.
