I’m not comparing the systems or saying it’s better, but you don’t need a credit rating to get a mortgage on a home in the US and are doing yourself a disservice repeating that talking point. If you don’t have a credit rating they’ll ask for other evidences you are able to pay off a 15-30 year loan like consistent and not missing payments on a phone, rent, utilities, internet, etc steady employment, bigger down payment. it’s called manual underwriting or a non traditional mortgage application.

It’s much more difficult to secure a mortgage that way and you will be paying exploitive interest rates. It’s like saying offering up collateral or buying a house outright is path to home ownership- something the vast majority of homebuyers can not do.

Most people that don’t have a credit rating don’t have the secondary information they’ll ask for to do the manual underwriting process, and it seems nobody publishes direct data sets on no credit rating loans, but I did find some estimates at around 0.5-2% that’s still thousands of mortgages a year but not really significant amount overall. I thought it was closer to 8-10% but that was bullshit after looking into it more to get the numbers above, and if it’s only 2% then I’ll rescind the original statement & stand corrected, that’s for any practical measure a requirement.
