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 ther... See more

Aussie in Texas

Nova Credit was very helpful to use my Australian credit history when setting up my new life in the USA where I had no credit history. I used it to obtain an American Express card.

Amazing service- fast & awesome

Amazing service. I had no credit history in the US but was approved for an Amex Blue Cash on the spot with a pretty generous credit limit using my home country credit history. My friend tried without nova credit and he was denied. Now he has a hard pull and no credit

Nova credit makes difference

After getting 3 credit cards and a phone application rejected inspite of having "Excellent" credit score in Canada, Nova Credit got me instant approved for great Amex cards. Life saver!

I am a travel nurse with 6 kids down in Texas. I have excellent credit in Canada but was unable to get a credit card here in the states until I discovered Nova credit. With little to no hassle I was approved for a credit card and started building credit right away. Amazing service!!!

I arrived to the US with no credit…

I arrived to the US with no credit history and wanted to get a credit card. Reading online, and talking with some friends I arrived to the conclusion that to get a credit card I needed to build a US credit history first. That is when I also stumbled upon Nova Credit. I do have a credit history outside the US, and so, it was possible for me to apply for an American Express card from the get go. I couldn't be happier with this.

A great service and easy to use

Very easy to use and I was able to get a credit card as soon as I arrived in USA through Nova. It was a great help as my credit score is 0 when I arrived and I am slowly building it up.

I got my 1st US credit card through Nova Credit. I have excellent credit rating in Australia built over 20 years. However it was not recognized in the US. It was only through Nova Credit's service that I was able to get an AMEX credit card. I can now start building my US credit history. Very happy!

An invaluable service for expats

I am very selective about writing reviews, but I feel this deserves it.

As someone with a perfect credit rating in the UK (I promise I'm not gloating - I write this for context), to be confronted with starting at zero in the US was a hard pill to swallow.

It's extremely demoralizing to be denied credit and have no apparent way to rectify the situation. I had to consider just how long I'd have to depend on someone else. Moreover, it poses the question: how will I ever find a way to begin building credit? Any mortgage fantasies seem a long way off.

Thank you NOVA credit. The process is incredibly straight forward and you have provided an invaluable resource for people like me.

Side note for anyone considering this: don't guess your financial history questions when signing up. Make sure you explore your home country Experian account before making an application. If you mess it up, you'll have to wait 30 days. I wish I could say that didn't happen to me. :)

Import your Indian credit history for a US credit card

I had a very good experience with nova credit. Getting a credit card in the US without a credit history is quite hard and nova credit helped me apply for a card by importing my India credit history. This was extremely helpful and I was able to get a credit card in a matter of 10 days.

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
