Highly recommended Extremely useful way for a new arrival in the US to get a decent credit card and build a credit rating. Application very easy, decent range of credit cards (I recommend one of the Amex Blue cards)...and makes life a lot easier in terms of signing a lease for a flat/phone etc

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!

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!

Thanks to Nova Credits. I applied for an Amex credit card with nova and got instantly approved. Nova Credit is not a company is a brand, it's a financial helper for students. I came to the USA this fall 2023 and I am looking to take a credit card, but no company gave me a credit card without SSN. At that time I came to know about Nova Credit and I applied for an Amex credit card with nova and got instantly approved. I suggest all students who are presently in the USA or coming to the USA, must try Nova credit and get Amex card Thanks to Nova Credits

It 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.
