Supportive and easy to understand

I have been with Vanquis for a very long time now and turned to them when no other CC would accept me. I have since got other CC but stuck with Vanquis due to the ease and support they have provided. Reviewed on: 2nd May 2024

not terrible, not brilliant

interest rate bit too high, could definitely be lower. payments take 3 working days to reach the balance, that is quite long time. surely the money is in within seconds, can only speculate what is happening to it for another 72 hours until reflects in balance. there are better credit card providers out there, but there are definitely worse ones out there too.

Many years ago i had a poor credit score due to missing bill payments in which I was declined most credit cards . But vanquis accepted me and j have enjoyed being able to use the credit to upgrade my home .The interest rates are high on larger amounts but I have tried to pay back more then the minimum amount to bring into balance down quicker. Also having this card has enabled me have a better credit score all around . Reviewed on: 2nd May 2024
