Building Credit in the US
One valuable thing an international student can do while
studying in the US is establish credit. This isn’t always easy
to do without a social security number (SSN), but some
companies, like Deserve, don’t require one! Deserve considers
your full financial picture and considers factors like how you
manage your money and if you pay your bills on time to predict
your future credit potential.
MONEY® Magazine said, "The entire Deserve card program is
tailored specifically for students: There’s no annual fee, and
you can get one even if you don’t yet have a credit history,
which is a benefit other credit cards for college students don’t
generally offer."
Find out why this card is so highly rated, especially for
international students:
