Vanquis is an excellent card for people who may off damaged their credit history in the past. They are helpful, easy to deal with with a great App to manage your account. Yes the interest rate can be seen as high, but that is due to poor credit history in the past. Reviewed on: 3rd May 2024

Useful credit card

5
I took out my Vanquis credit card when I needed to build my credit score. I started with a very small limit which has gradually increased over time. I always repay in full and get messages to let me know my balance which is very useful. Their website is also easy to navigate. Reviewed on: 3rd May 2024

Great start on credit score ladder

5
When I came to the UK 11 years ago without credit history I was accepted for a Vanquis account, which put me on the credit ladder. Since then I have been able to go ahead in leaps and bounds. Drawback is that the other cards that I now have offer far greater credit limits, which I do not use since I do not carry over credit card balances, but the higher limits enhance my credit score.

Best experience

I have been with Vanquis for years now. Got no issues. I guess with regards to charges and interests, all credit card company almost charges the same. I am happy with the customer service they provide, one thing that stand out is they answer the phone quicker than the rest. Reviewed on: 3rd May 2024

I've had a Vanquis credit card for a few years now, interest rates are high but I appreciate that I have a lot of debt to pay back on other creditors so the risks are higher. However this card has allowed me to build up my credit profile again so along with companies like this and paying my debts back now I'm managing to live a more normal life now stress free Reviewed on: 3rd May 2024
