What are some of the ways I can start building credit history in the US since I'm just a foreigner? I have the option to start a secure credit card with Wells Fargo, but I would like to try another way and other bank that is more flexible.


ANSWER


Expert Mark Anderson's Answer:

Any loan or credit card will help build a credit history.  If you do get a credit card it would be in your best interest to pay it off every month so you do not pay late charges or high interest.  Car loans or other loans will have lower interest.
