Building Credit in the US

One valuable thing an international student can do while studying in the US is establish credit. This isn鈥檛 always easy to do without a social security number (SSN), but some companies, like Deserve, don鈥檛 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庐 Magazine said, "The entire Deserve card program is tailored specifically for students: There鈥檚 no annual fee, and you can get one even if you don鈥檛 yet have a credit history, which is a benefit other credit cards for college students don鈥檛 generally offer."
