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.

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.

Recently moved from England to the US Recently moved from England to the US. Saw the company being advertised on Facebook for me. And saw their forbes article as well from a few years back. I had a decent credit score back in England, and I ideally didn't want to start on beginners standard credit card here in the US, so took a risk and applied for one of the AMEX cards using Nova Credit. The selection was limited (mostly AMEXs), I think there was one other lower tier card though (Which I kept in mind incase the AMEX application wasn't successful). The process itself wasn't too bad, decently step-by-step. But everything went well, my score in England helped me get the AMEX card and I've been using it fine for a while now.

Worst 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!!!

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
