History

Nova Credit states that it was founded in 2016 to build a better credit system, starting with serving newcomers to America. It built the Credit Passport®, described as the world's first and only cross-border credit reporting system, enabling newcomers to use their international credit history when applying for U.S. financial services. The company states that leading institutions like Chase, HSBC, and Scotiabank use the Credit Passport to serve newcomers from around the world. It then broadened its offering into the Nova Platform, combining new data sources for new consumer segments. Through Cash Atlas™, its cash flow underwriting platform, lenders gain real-time visibility into consumers' financial health through bank transaction data. With Income Navigator™, it automated income and employment verification. Through Eligibility Compass™, it brought the same data-driven approach to affordable housing access. On September 3, 2025, Nova Credit announced that Chase selected Cash Atlas™ to power its cash flow underwriting capabilities and will also use Credit Passport® to access and decision with international credit data.
