Nova ( Formerly Ladder )

Nova Credit is a financial technology startup that operates in the credit industry. Its primary service is to provide a platform that allows immigrants in the United States to share their credit history from their home country with financial service providers. This enables these individuals to access and build credit in the U.S. more easily, a process that is typically challenging due to the lack of a U.S. credit history.

The company's clients are primarily immigrants who are new to the U.S. and financial service providers such as banks, credit card companies, and loan providers who want to extend their services to this demographic. By acting as a bridge between these two groups, Nova Credit operates in a niche market within the larger financial services industry.

Nova Credit's business model is based on partnerships with credit bureaus around the world. They access these bureaus' databases to retrieve credit information, which is then translated into a U.S.-equivalent score and report. Financial service providers pay Nova Credit for this information, which they use to make decisions about extending credit or loans to immigrants.

In simple terms, Nova Credit makes money by charging financial service providers for the credit reports they generate for immigrants. This service is valuable because it allows these providers to make informed decisions about a demographic that they would otherwise have little information on, thereby reducing their risk and potentially opening up a new customer base.
