Long term user. Credit score now 999/999

5
I've had a Vanquis card for longer than any other card and my credit score has gone from 'very poor' to the maximum 999/999 (Experian). It definitely helps build your credit score, despite the increased interest rates. Used responsibly it is a good tool for improving your score. Reviewed on: 3rd May 2024

My favourite credit company.

My favourite credit company. I’ve had other cards that charge a fortune and will just dish out a higher credit limit, but with Vanquis they charge a good apr and they’ve not pushed a new limit unaffordable on me Reviewed on: 3rd May 2024

A fantastic first credit card!

5
I’m a huge fan on Vanquis. When I first moved to London it was impossible to get a credit card. Vanquis was one of the few places that gave me chance. They started my credit amount low and slowly gave me more over time. They’re always so responsive when you need help and the app is great. Overall a great first credit card experience.

Really easy, applied, accepted and got my card and pin quickly. Downloaded the app through a clear email and I was good to go. The app is super simple and clear to see what you’re spending and also to make a payment to Vanquis. Reviewed on: 3rd May 2024
