I always assumed credit scores were an integral and historic part of the American financial system.
They were not, they are very recent，most of your parents didn’t have credit scores growing up, and as you can probably tell or at least intuit, it’s mostly just a b******* scheme for those with capital to accrue more capital by invading your privacy.
Problem is when you move to a new country and can’t open a bank account because you dont know anybody

Depends on the bank. But I do think we should have consumer protection laws that make the practice illegal.
