Review of the Vanquis, Credit Building Credit Card:

Ease of use

It was really easy to apply for the card online. I got the credit limit I applied for. The app makes it easy to manage the card. I was able to set up a direct debit to pay off the balance every month with just a few clicks. And I have to mention, although this may not be important to everyone, I like the design of the digital card as well. I also like the fact that I could easily add the card to Apple Pay - some of my other credit cards still don't have this feature. Reviewed on: 3rd May 2025

A fantastic card for building a credit score!

A fantastic card for building a credit score, of which I have held for a number of years now, and it can be and has been used in counties all around the UK and the world. A very good interest rate to start, and then once established for a couple of years the rate was reduced to be more competitive and easier on my monthly payments Reviewed on: 3rd May 2025

Good Starter Card, Limited Long-Term Value

I used Vanquis for my first credit card and overall, it served its purpose well. It was a good starting point for building my credit history, and getting accepted helped me establish a solid lending record early on. Customer service was always helpful in my experience, and the app was straightforward to use. However, I found it quite difficult to get credit limit increases, even with consistent use and keeping my utilisation below 25%. Over time, I moved on to other credit cards that offered higher credit limits, cashback, and more flexible features like 0% APR pay-in-three options. Vanquis was a useful first step, but for those with growing credit scores, other cards may offer more competitive benefits. Still, I appreciate how it helped me get started.
