Foreign National Credit Reports
Lenders do prefer a credit report from the home country, although some will take 3 credit reference letters from the borrower. The credit report is much like our own in the U.S. but without scores as their scoring systems are different from our own. There are agencies in the U.S. that obtain the data, conform it to U.S. regulations and provide the background checks (verification of employment, verification of an existence of a company for self employed) and anti-money laundering, anti-terrorism, OFAC and red flag rules.

“Journalism without a moral position is impossible. Every journalist is a moralist. It’s absolutely unavoidable. A journalist is someone who looks at the world and the way it works, someone who takes a close look at things every day and reports what she sees, someone who represents the world, the event, for others. She cannot do her work without judging what she sees.”
