A 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.

I was surprised there could be such a… I was surprised there could be such a thing as ‘importing credit history from another country’. I recently moved to the US & Nova Credit helped me obtain a credit card within a day with no credit history in the US. I received an Amex card after Nova Credit sent my credit history of my country to Amex. Very innovative & was of great help to me.

The 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.

Not 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!

Apartment I used Nova Credit when applying for an apartment lease. The platform doesn’t take into account self employed business owners. Very clunky process and you can tell that the apartment managers have a lot of trouble with the platform after many back and forth calls.
