pecuniary
Pertaining to funds
Pecuniary means relating to or involving money.
The word appears in formal and legal contexts: pecuniary damages, pecuniary interest, pecuniary gain.
A pecuniary motive is financial rather than personal or ideological.
The term sounds somewhat stiff in everyday speech, where "financial" or "monetary" would be more natural.
