Hi everyone, I’m an international student who just moved here a few weeks ago. I don’t have an SSN, ITIN, or any credit history yet, but I’d really like to start building credit with a good credit card. I was hoping to get something from Chase or Wells Fargo, but they both require an SSN or ITIN. Amex also seems to require some credit history, which I don’t have.
Is there any kind of workaround with the banks I mentioned, or should I be looking at different options entirely? What’s the best credit card an international student in my position can realistically open to get started?
Thanks so much for any advice!
