In this episode of the International Money Café Podcast your cohosts Jane Mepham CFP® and Manasa Nadig, EA discuss how to go about building U.S. credit history in the country when you are a brand-new immigrant.
The U.S. credit score is critical in the U.S., as it’s heavily relied on by institutions to judge you financially. The problem is you most likely have zero history when you first move to the U.S. as a permanent immigrant or as a foreign national on a nonimmigrant visa.
Listen as Jane and Manasa explain what the credit score and history are, how it’s calculated, how to start building it, and finally how to maintain it once you have it going.
