Very considerate with payment. The promise to pay feature allows flexibility where a lot of other lenders are very rigid. Reviewed on: 9th July 2025

A Credit Card for All

5
I have struggled with mental health problems for close to 15 years now and never being able to manage my money too well as I was in and out of work due to illness. The last 6 years I have tried so hard to get my finances in order and thankfully I have been able to do so. However, because I can’t work due to my many health problems I finally began receiving the full allowance on both compartments of the Personal Independance Payments for disabled people. Because this has given me a regular income it has allowed me to be incredibly responsible with my finances. When I applied for the Vanquis Card I didn’t hold much hope with being disabled as to whether I would be accepted, however, Vanquis didn’t hesitate to approve my application and didn’t discriminate against me at all. I am now feeling like a valued citizen again and I have to say, Vanquis has made that possible for me. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Vanquis to all my friends and family and would urge people that are in the same situation as myself, to give them a try. The process is incredibly easy, they are so professional as a company too. From being accepted, my new credit card came within a week along with the PIN number and I am now enjoying the benefits of their credit card and excellent credit limit. Thank you Vanquis Reviewed on: 9th July 2025

No support given when I needed it

I have recently been in hospital for a major operation and was only on half pay and needed a few month off and was struggling with my payments. I have other credit cards and they were really supportive and gave me a few months break and froze the interest aswell as checking in on me to see how I was feeling. You did nothing to support me nothing at all, absolutely disgusting service Reviewed on: 9th July 2025

Vanquis CC is a high interest facility. If you can manage this feature then it can be very useful. Reviewed on: 9th July 2025

Vanquis is the best

Vanquis has really helped to build up my credit, the repayments are very manageable, the app is amazing and straightforward.. I can choose if I want a credit increase. Customer service are very professional and answer questions effectively. They are polite and caring if you have any problems. I would definitely recommend this company to family and friends.
