GBComplete Joke I supplied a physical copy of my 1099 to verify my income. They then sent me an email requesting that I grant them full and unlimited access to my checking account to verify my income. What a joke. Are these people nuts? First of all, they don’t need access to my checking account to verify my income. I already gave them the physical copy of my annual 1099R.

GBAmex 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!

GBWorst experience ever with Nova Credit Worst experience ever with Nova Credit. Their "partners" wouldn't even use Nova Credit report to help with my finance. Westlake Financial said they saw no credit history on my profile and they could not use Nova Credit. They asked my dealership to pull my Nova Credit which is funny because how could the dealership have access to Nova Credit? Don't believe the bells and whistles from Nova Credit and they will only ruin your US Credit history if you trust them and go ahead with them. Their support team is hopeless. I did 3 enquiries and the only thing I got was the "we will get back to you within 1-2 business days" and they never got back to me!!!

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!

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.
