Great credit building!

5
When I returned from abroad after a few years I found the high street banks unwilling to give me any sort of credit even though I had previous history with them before relocating. My credit history was “missing” and even car insurance was extortionate. I applied and was accepted for a VANQUIS credit building card, I think the credit limit was £250. It wasn’t that I needed money, the important thing for me was building a credit score and history. The app is great and very user friendly, payment reminders, direct payments etc. I’ve been with this company since 2012, and it’s the only credit card I use. BTW, my credit limit is now £5000.

Literally a company on the brink of collapse and there’s no wonder why with your continued failures in multiple avenues from customer service to value for money, appalling company all round! Reviewed on: 3rd May 2024
