NLMediocre Mediocre! Nova Credits are only supported by Amex, who already let you transfer your creditscore in 2 ways without nova credit! Namely, by filling in your own foreign credit card number on the website when signing up and by using the global transfer program! Then you can also already build credit with the capitol one quicksilver secured creditcard! Then Verizon‘s deal of 80 dollar per month 5G isn’t exactly cheap! Then you can never use nova credit to ever get a mortgage!

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!

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.

CAIt is the simplest thing amongst all the things I’m a Canadian moving to the US for work (in the process of getting a SSN). There’s a heck of a lot to do when moving, but getting a credit card turns out to be simple. I used Nova Credit to translate my Canadian Transunion credit score of 829 to a report that Amex understood. It was accepted, and Amex also required proof of address from my US bank. After that was provided, it approved me for the Amex Blue Cash Everyday credit card with $2000 credit limit. It’s not bad considering that I have no credit history in the US, and I’m happy to start building one.

GBGreat service offering! Using Nova Credit allowed me to access an American Express credit card quicker than I otherwise would have been able to. The online process was easy and it only takes a couple of minutes. The one thing people should be wary of is: the verification of address step that American Express now requires. My application was held up for over 2 months, while I waited to get phone bills, utility bills, etc that had my US address on it. They wouldn’t accept something like a sublease agreement. This step is out of Nova Credit’s control, but something people should be aware of when they are moving!
