Bank of West
Anyone used Bank of West they have a expat team supposed to be able to get a credit card up to $12000 credit which if you use max 30% of this to build good credit means it is still useable for most monthly purchases. This isn’t a recommendation I am thinking of using them and wondered if anyone had anything good or bad to report.
Been here 7 days I have my social security number but my wife’s names been mucked up apparently this could cause a big delay in getting her number.
Driving license and deciding on a health plan next
Thanks

You can use your entire limit many times over in a billing cycle, it's the % at the end which counts.
