My Experience

I applied for a vanquis credit card when I had a very poor credit score. And over the years vanquis credit card has helped me build a much healthier credit score. The vanquis app is so easy to use and a real pleasure when paying my vanquis invoice. I also love the fact that I get a reminder to tell me payment is due and what my minimum payment is.

Positive recommendation to Vanquis!

I opened a credit card account with Vanquis and the whole process has been quick, easy and efficient. I had the first 9 months interest free which is a brilliant sign up introduction. The app is great, nice and simple, direct debits and making payments easy to use and I just find Vanquis flawless so far, so for that I thank them and would highly recommend to anyone.
