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

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.

I used this,service to obtain a US … I used this,service to obtain a US American express card. A card was issued as I have a great credit rating in Canada. Subsequently American express. Cancelled the card for no apparent reason . And followed up with requests for income statements and tax returns from Canada. I had assumed that this,service would have prevented that hassle.

Smooth and painless Smooth and painless, I received an Amex CC after 15 minutes with an extra call to Amex. The Irony is I am a Canadian who has paid taxes and utilities on a home in the US for over 12 years and there was no US credit history on me. Even a major bank where I have had an account to manage this for all those years wasn’t able to help me get a card. The Canadian Credit rating companies are often owned by American firms and I am shocked those organization cannot or will not transfer info between the 2 counties.

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!
