          To clarify - Sweden has a lesser variant of the U.S credit score system, but it differs in some important ways. For example, you don’t have to get a credit card to ‘build credit’ - you are assumed to be in good standing unless you have unusual ratios of debt and so on.

          Sweden does not have a social credit score system.

      The social credit system is really overblown, it isn’t extensive and it’s more for businesses to prevent tax evasion and whatnot.
