Why build credit after moving to the UK?


Moving to a new country can be fun and exciting. New places to go, friends to make, and opportunities to explore. Unfortunately, newcomers to the UK have no credit history, which means any form of borrowing is virtually not an option.

When you make such a big life change, you need to set yourself up for success so that you can live your very best life in a new place. While it may not feel like a priority at first, building credit is one of the first things you need to tackle. Without a good credit score, lenders will see you as “high risk”, even if you’re not, and you’ll be limited in your ability to secure loans, utilities, cellular contracts, credit cards, and more.

The sooner you start to establish good credit in the UK, the sooner you can take advantage of all the wonderful things this beautiful country has to offer. Read our blog: 8 of the best ways to build credit.
