I wish I had this when I moved to the US the first time. Took me a long time to get credit and literally couldn't get a bank account before I got a social security despite having a long bank/credit history in my home country

?makers I gotta know... how is this done without an SSN considering the KYC requirements of US banks?
@nateritter Hi Nate. We comply with all US regulations. Shoot us an email and we can tell you about the requirements in more detail 📪
Nice addition, I'm a Brazilian who work remotely for US company and I'm using Transferwise for now. Can I be a client?
I don't care about the monthly fee if I receive a card and can use Google Pay (and have an Android app)...
@ourielohayon Thanks for your question! Currently you have a US Address in order to open an account (#regulation) 😢 A lot of people have been asking for this from outside the country and we are planning to open up Sable globally in the future 🌐
@andrej_paule I'm confused. On your website it says that I need an address in US to send the card. Can't I add a friend's address?
As a foreign founder moving to the US I know how hard it is to get banking setup here, so I definitely believe there's a market. I looked at your landing page from a potential customer's point of view and had a few comments: https://app.usebubbles.com/424c2... --- Let me know if this helps!
@tom4 Tom, thanks so much for the detailed feedback! We really appreciate it. Can't wait to action it in the coming days 💪
Hi Product Hunters,
We are excited to launch Sable, the first mobile bank built for internationals in the U.S. We are offering a free checking account (with a debit card) and a credit card with lots of great features in the app, and have a lot more products to come!
We are a team of international co-founders that moved to the U.S. and realized that it was impossible to get a good credit card or open a bank account online without an SSN and U.S. credit history regardless of our credit history at home. We launched Sable, to ease the transition for internationals moving to the U.S. by giving them access to credit and enabling them to build U.S. credit history from day one.
We are excited to give you a seamless experience with no fees and great rewards, while we continue on our mission to build a truly borderless bank, offering products and services to all internationals moving from any one country to another.

@andrej_paule please i have signed up with the promo code enlisted but i haven't received any email confirmation. its been days now.
As the son of immigrant parents I totally understand the benefits of Sable. Will be checking this out.
I wish this existed when I first entered the US. It was such a pain to go through traditional banking routes, and even now after years I am having difficulty getting approved for credit cards! Solving a huge problem I've personally faced. Kill it!
@prateek_swain1 Thanks Prateek! Excited to have you onboard and help 💪
Is it only for people who are living in USA right now or someone who has registered a Delaware company living outside USA can also have an account with you?
@aquibur_rahman for people who are moving to or have already moved to the U.S.
well done! Are you looking to add new products or swap out vendors? we have a platform to build fintech apps and add ACH, KYC, card issuance, bank accts and more! have a look productfy.io
@kayd_yonis1 Glad to have you onboard! Look forward to the feedback. Sable provides consumer U.S. bank accounts and credit cards and offers core banking features such as domestic and internationals transfers through your U.S. bank account. Given we serve the international population that moves to the U.S., we are currently partnering with remittance providers to give low to zero fees to our customers to move money.
Additionally, with our U.S. credit card, internationals can start creating U.S. credit history immediately
hello
thank you i do sign up and waiting for verification hope done soon the app say 24hrs but now 3 days .
if i sign up for credit card can i also then open an bank account ?
Hello @aldirazi - apologies for the delay of your verification - we had to review your documents manually. You're all set now! Excited to have you onboard!
Yes, you have a bank account as well. Sign into the app to see your bank account details and please don't hesitate to reach out at help@sablecard.com for any additional questions.
@sablecard @naveen_qureshi thank you just have couple hints if you can do that will be awasome .
1- can fill the account via paypal
2- can fill the account with credit card
3- track the shipment (card shipment)
4- can freeze the card / pause it for some times
5- many cards design ( i can help on that)
thank you
@sablecard @aldirazi Hi Sadiq, thanks for your feedback!
We're working towards points 1,2 and 3. We are releasing 4 next week and will be working towards #5 in the next 4-5 months.
Great suggestions and feedback! Thank you.
I first moved to the US from Canada when I was 20. I wasn't able to get a credit card because I was under 21 and was a foreigner. I wish I had Sable then! Highly recommend to folks who are just moving to the country. It's super easy and it's never too early to start building your credit!
This product is going to be a game changer for international students- looking forward to seeing the development
If this includes American Airlines or Hilton rewards in the future, then a lot of Australians will be all over this!
Thanks @nathan_d_cunha that's a great suggestion! We would love to see a lot of Australians at Sable 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
This is great, thank you for building this! @naveen_qureshi could you give us a little insight into your product roadmap, please? What's next in 2020?
@siddharth_shanbhag great question! Next few months are going to be exciting + busy as we launch Sable One - our unsecured credit card, Android app, free international money transfers and rewards.
I'm not planning to move to the US but I work as a freelancer with internationals, so a US bank account would be useful for me. Do I need an iPhone to use Sable?
Hi @gustavo_du_mortier , thanks for reaching out. Sable is only applicable for customers who are moving or have moved to the U.S.
Excited to see this go live! Wish this was around when I was an international student and living on cash for 3 weeks while waiting for my bank account to open and money to be transferred.
@katorekhova Thanks, Kat! The team wished for this when we moved to the U.S. as well!
@naveen_qureshi My bad experience with Sable: for a few months I tried to open an account, in the first instance they rejected my application because my passport was expired, and they asked me to update the document, the second attempt I entered all my documents, valid passport and life of United States and after 4 days of insisting for an answer they only limited themselves to telling me that they could not open my account without giving more details, and indicating that it was their final decision, whether to have a reason, without indicating why and being a possible client without references in the United States as is their policy and with a good profile ... this is not an inclusive bank, it is not a bank for migrants, it is not a bank with good service, and what do you read me, do not take it as option so that you do not get a bad experience, Sable does not work
I had a bad experience with this card
They do not update your information to the credit report it has been almost 3 months no update when you buy something only they will report if you pay on the card 3 or 4 months will go buy will say your still using most of your balance AVOID IF YOU WANT DRAMA FREE EXPERIENCE I will be reporting this business told customer service severely times about credit report issue they don’t care or fix the issue

I’m a Canadian in the US and I’ve been using Sable for months. Super easy to register and use. Definitely recommend!
@naveen_qureshi Cool, have applied but verification is delayed going on 48 hours. My application email is lukemh at gmail dot com
@lukeholder Hi Luke - I apologize for the inconvenience. I sent you an email regarding your application.
