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.

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!

Apartment I used Nova Credit when applying for an apartment lease. The platform doesn’t take into account self employed business owners. Very clunky process and you can tell that the apartment managers have a lot of trouble with the platform after many back and forth calls.

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!

Hit or Miss It works when things are simple and straight forward. Their Linking and Matching of records to the UK beureos are are not great, I out exceptional rating in UK but Novacredit did not find my record after living in UK for over 15 years !. It did work for my wife who lived in the country for 6 years
