Building Credit as an International Student
One well-kept secret is that even as an international student in
the US, you can start building credit; one great way to do this
is through responsible credit card usage. We’ve partnered with
Deserve, a company created by past international students, to
give you the opportunity to apply for a credit card that doesn’t
require a social security number. Explore their card details and
see if it’s a good fit for you.
