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!!!

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.

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!

GBAus to US experience I recently moved to the US from Australia and one of the most important things once you arrive is to start building credit. I was able to get a credit card based of Nova Credit with American Express. It has also allowed me to provide confidence to agencies and landlords through the rental process. I would highly recommend as a way to establish yourself in the US.

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!
