Read moreI have an aqua card and an aqua loan and an opus card with a Small credit limit. I've never had problems with newday and they are always helpful abd upfront about charges and for those who can't get credit from high street banks I highly recommend them my aqua card has a high limit that I reduced and my opus card has a small 300limit which is perfect for those not wanting to run up big debt aqua loans are very friendly and efficient as well if you manage credit responsibility new day is a good company to use with fair interest rates that also will help you get on the ladder for high street main bank credit. They are many payday loan companies with extortionate interest new day I would recommend to anyone. Clear upfront friendly and knowledgeable staff
Customer service below average
Sometimes you might speak to someone who is friendly and helpful. Sometimes you might speak to someone who is friendly but hasn't a clue what they're doing. Most of the time, though, you'll speak to someone who sounds bored and couldn't give a stuff.

Lie and Cheat to Steal your Money
As seen in the title this company will lie and cheat to take your money. Even provided a recording of a call showing them giving false information they wont ever admit fault. There are far far better companies out there choose any of those.
Pathetic customer service

Read more I got my card from Debanham store.
Next day on the first transaction they blocked my card without sending me any communication.
When I called then they said that they are unblocking it.Call waiting time was around an hour.
Still they did not unblock ,i called again after 2 days ,this time waiting time was even longer.One hour plus..
Again they are saying that they are unblocking but i do not know ..
Overall extremely bad experience.
Easy to use card but account management less than perfect
Although the card itself works great and the processes behind the scenes such as regular credit limit increases are smooth the online account management seems very slow to make changes.
Good credit building tool
Not the cheapest product on market but is good value for regular use and full payment each month. Using this helps those on lower credit scores build a better credit rating that definitely works. Don't use it as main source of credit as interest is...

Great credit card for travel and everyday use
I really like that I can use my Aqua credit card abroad knowing that I won't incur any extra fees. The online app is great - I use it to keep track of my spending and I receive a text and email when my statement is ready.
Excellent for improving your credit score
I've had an excellent service from New day. All charges are clear and the app is really handy to keep a track of your spending and payment history
Great card
Took a coupe of weeks to arrive after acceptance but other than that I have never had a problem. I do wish my card was contactless though
Pleased with there service
They have been helpful and increased my limit after 4months would recommend
Easy fast and fair

Read more I have had a Marbles card for many years, but since NewDay took over the service has declined. Awful telephone menu not giving an option to talk to someone if your enquiry does not fit one of the limited options. Moved house recently and the online account facility allows you change address. Looks absolutely fine on-screen but Marbles system seems to have mangled old and new address so staements and correspondance comes out wrong. Three declined payments this week - do not know why as account less than 25% of limit, suspect the mangled account address not agreeing with details input on store website. Spent 29 minutes on phone being passed from one assistant to another (four in total), having to go through the security details each time, why can't they pass on the validation?
Will most likely now be changing to another card supplier.
Dec17 Update:
Newday admitted the fault, but I still decided to change the card in May - very quick and easy to do. Multiple errors and not easy to contact meant that I decided it was time to move on.
Bad service
I really do not recommend this company to take something, terrible company
fraudsters.liars.conartists
Claim you havent paid when they know full well that you have. Keep hold your cheque so that they can charge you interest because acording to them you have missed the payment due date.total fraudsters.dont open a card with them.
Fraud £128 on my newday account. I have been called a liar!!!
After checking my statement, I noticed 2 transactions. 1 of £28 and the other £100 made in Peacocks in Falmouth. I had not been to Falmouth and alarm bells started ringing. Also the fact that they were rounded up figures ( not the case if you are b...
Read moreAfter checking my statement, I noticed 2 transactions. 1 of £28 and the other £100 made in Peacocks in Falmouth. I had not been to Falmouth and alarm bells started ringing. Also the fact that they were rounded up figures ( not the case if you are buying in a store). After over an hour on the phone, I was told to ring back the following day. I did this and again another hour . In the meantime I had emailed them (after being told there was no email address) to be told. Newday cards (Outfit) cannot be used in Peacocks!!! Funny that as I regularly use Peacocks to buy my grandchildrens clothes. After spending the last 4 days now, numerous emails and phone calls, I have just been told by newday that I am a "Liar" as it was a chip and pin transaction. I DON'T CARE, THESE ARE NOT MY TRANSACTIONS. Right time to take legal action I think!!! Hate bad unprofessional customer service!!
Do not touch them keep well away! New Day is a nightmare
Do not under any circumstances touch this company no matter how much you want a credit card. They charge you no matter what, apr is massive, access to online account, well once you are late online is none existent, you offer to pay by DD but refused...

They get your address wrong and you pay for it, no statements, but its your fault even though you gave them the right address. Awful company, unfair! Wish I had never done it.
Great for building credit history and when others say 'no'.
If, like me, you've moved fairly recently to the UK and have had to start your credit and banking history from scratch, the Aqua Advance Credit Card is a good starting point. They say 'yes' where others say 'no' - probably best to try credit card...
Read moreIf, like me, you've moved fairly recently to the UK and have had to start your credit and banking history from scratch, the Aqua Advance Credit Card is a good starting point. They say 'yes' where others say 'no' - probably best to try credit card application simulators to check your chances of getting accepted by any provider before collecting too many hits on your credit history. Applying and using your card is really simple and you'll get text and email reminders to pay your statement on time. The website is not the most intuitive of all, but after searching around a bit, you'll usually find what you need. After half a year of using the card responsibly and paying in full every month I asked for a credit limit increase which was promptly granted. The rates are very high, but if you always pay in full, it doesn't make that much difference since you're not paying them anyway. And in the meantime you'll be able to build your credit history and make way for getting better deals down the road.
