Nova Credit and Creditinfo join forces

Thursday 18 January 2024 11:49 CET | News

Nova Credit has collaborated with Creditinfo to help Ukrainians gain access to the necessary financial services needed to rebuild their lives abroad. 

Per the press release, the partnership is powered by Nova Credit’s Credit Passport, a cross-border credit solution enabling newcomers to access their foreign credit history when applying for financial products in a new home country.  

Bridging this critical data gap, Nova Credit and Creditinfo are set to provide Ukrainian expats and refugees with the tools needed to get started on the right financial footing upon arrival.

Nova Credit has collaborated with Creditinfo to help Ukrainians gain access to the necessary financial services needed to rebuild their lives abroad.

As many people will seek permanent residency in these new countries, a lack of credit history could introduce a barrier to securing financial services. Very commonly, newcomers have struggled to carry over their financial identity and credit history, posing a dual challenge for those seeking to rebuild their lives and lenders aiming to extend financial services to this incoming population. 

According to the press release, with this partnership, credit data from the International Bureau of Credit Histories (IBCH) Ukraine can be instantly translated into a local-equivalent credit report and score so that lenders who use the Credit Passport solution can assess the credit risk of new-to-country Ukrainian applicants. Nova Credit’s partners using the Credit Passport today include American Express, HSBC, Scotiabank, Verizon, and UNFCU. 

The Credit Passport Ukraine data integration is available for deployment into any credit risk or underwriting process across the US, the UK, Canada, UAE, and Singapore.
