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.

Really 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.

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.

Complete 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.

Great service offering! Using Nova Credit allowed me to access an American Express credit card quicker than I otherwise would have been able to. The online process was easy and it only takes a couple of minutes. The one thing people should be wary of is: the verification of address step that American Express now requires. My application was held up for over 2 months, while I waited to get phone bills, utility bills, etc that had my US address on it. They wouldn’t accept something like a sublease agreement. This step is out of Nova Credit’s control, but something people should be aware of when they are moving!
