The China-centric video sharing platform is expanding with a new international app and an English version of its website – with no identity verification (for now at least)

    Europe exists with neither of these problems. You can get a credit card if you want but loads of people don’t. From a low effort search it actually looks like most people in almost all European countries don’t have one. Few exceptions like Norway but even there you have a very significant minority without one.

    UK here and I bought a house without ever having a credit card or worrying or knowing what a credit rating is.

        Not saying it doesn’t exist. But its easy to go through live without ever giving a shit about it. Been working for me so far even when deeply below poverty wages. Now I am between UK minimum and median wage so shits easy.

      Credit Score it does vary tbh in whether they care about it

      Like just to rent a place I had to have good credit score here in Scotland, but when I lived in England they didn’t care as long as I paid them
