Many of them find it helpful to have a smart phone and an American credit card(信用卡).These things make it easy to pay for many kinds of goods and services. But getting a credit card as an international student is not a simple process. Normal US lenders ask for a social security number(社会保障号码). In addition, they ask to see a persons credit history. This helps the lenders fully believe that someone is responsible and make timely payments. These are the things most international students do not have.But one company is trying to make the process easier and fairer for them.Jack Guo is from China. He now studies at a university in California. He says having an American credit card makes it easier for students to get around town. And, he says, credit cards are important for international students who hope to live in the country in the future.Kalpesh Kapadia came from India to study at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He faced the same difficulties that many international students face when trying to get an American credit card. He decided to open SelfScore(万事达信用卡).Without asking for credit history and a social security number, SelfScore looks at materials such as passports，visas, and acceptance letters to American schools. T
