How can an International Student Build Credit?

Brian from Nomad Credit explains why building credit is important for international students.

• International student may want to start thinking about building credit when they come to the U.S. to study.

Most financial products, such as personal loans, mortgages, or auto loans require credit history in order to be eligible for a loan.

• Not only that, but lenders will look at how good your credit history may be to determine the rates that you may get.
• So it is important to start now so you can set yourself up well in the future when you need other financial products.

Nomad Credit is a great place to search for financial products for an international student with an F1 Visa or J1 Visa.
