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.

It was a easy and quick experience… It was a easy and quick experience using Nova Credit to get my American Express credit card approved based on my credit history in Brazil. I didn't believe I was going to get such a good credit card. I hope they can help more immigrants build their credit in US based on their native country history.

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.

The way nova credit is helping students… The way nova credit is helping students to get a credit card by creating clear awareness. I like the way it helped us out of all issues. I would like to be part of all the other programs which may come from Nova credit. Its easy to get a credit card. Just a call to Amex after submitting application, within 15 minutes the card is approved and in 2 days i received the card. Happy with its hassle free usage.

Aus to US experience I recently moved to the US from Australia and one of the most important things once you arrive is to start building credit. I was able to get a credit card based of Nova Credit with American Express. It has also allowed me to provide confidence to agencies and landlords through the rental process. I would highly recommend as a way to establish yourself in the US.
