GBThe way nova credit is helping students… The way nova credit is helping students to get a credit card by creating clear awareness. I like the way it helped us out of all issues. I would like to be part of all the other programs which may come from Nova credit. Its easy to get a credit card. Just a call to Amex after submitting application, within 15 minutes the card is approved and in 2 days i received the card. Happy with its hassle free usage.

GBI used this,service to obtain a US … I used this,service to obtain a US American express card. A card was issued as I have a great credit rating in Canada. Subsequently American express. Cancelled the card for no apparent reason . And followed up with requests for income statements and tax returns from Canada. I had assumed that this,service would have prevented that hassle.

GBA great business idea A great business idea The process in getting your Nova Credit score and applying for a US credit card was really straight forward and easy to follow. It's a really great idea and acknowledges responsible credit users who have been living overseas. What's stopping me from giving 5 stars is that I wish it was more widely recognized, at the moment it's a very useful tool for building American credit but it would be even better if you could use it instead of an American credit score.

GBReally frustrated/ waste of my time Really frustrated. Did not work at all. You try to register at novacredit, it asks you basic questions about if you have a SSN / are you in US? But never asks about your other credit history in your country. Instead it gives you a list of credit cards associated with Nova (American Express) you might qualify for. It sends you to their webpage, and at NO POINT...did they ever ask me about my background credit history from Canada, even though I clicked "Foreign Credit History" earlier It says "Thank you for the submission, well let you know if you've been approved" So it's no wonder I got declined. Really absurd system.

CRNot what it says on the tin!!! Used Nova to apply for a credit card in the US using my UK credit history (or so they say). Turns out that even though Nova did a hard pull to get my full credit history from the UK, the banks didn't even use it (I have this in writing). Amex just put me on the minimum credit limit anyway and ignored the Nova check -- total waste of time! AND Nova's hard pull has negatively affected my credit score. In response to reply below: I am in fact talking about American Express. They took the Nova report but didn't use it when determining credit limit, etc. So it was the same as if I hadn't bothered with Nova at all. Seems like one big data grab from Nova Credit, don't give them your info!
