Recently moved from England to the US Recently moved from England to the US. Saw the company being advertised on Facebook for me. And saw their forbes article as well from a few years back. I had a decent credit score back in England, and I ideally didn't want to start on beginners standard credit card here in the US, so took a risk and applied for one of the AMEX cards using Nova Credit. The selection was limited (mostly AMEXs), I think there was one other lower tier card though (Which I kept in mind incase the AMEX application wasn't successful). The process itself wasn't too bad, decently step-by-step. But everything went well, my score in England helped me get the AMEX card and I've been using it fine for a while now.

Really 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.

I 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.

It was a easy and quick experience… It was a easy and quick experience using Nova Credit to get my American Express credit card approved based on my credit history in Brazil. I didn't believe I was going to get such a good credit card. I hope they can help more immigrants build their credit in US based on their native country history.

Amex approval via Nova for Canadian I moved to US and had 10 years of credit history and an excellent credit score (820). Sadly in US no one really cares about the Canadian history and I applied few times and no luck. I was withAmerican Express in Canada but since I have not used My Amex there that much, I could not ask Amex for Global card transfer. I applied through Nova and finally got approved by Amex. Although the credit limit was quite low (1000 $ only) and compared to what I had in Canada Looks like a joke but at least a start. Thanks Nova for facilitating it!
