My Experience

5
I first applied for a Vanquis card when I was looking for a way to improve my credit score. I had limited credit history in the UK, and Vanquis is known for accepting people with low or no credit scores. The application process was fairly straightforward, and I got a decision within a few days. Reviewed on: 10th July 2025

Excellent lender via credit card.

Excellent lender via credit card. Ideal amount of messages sent, you dnt get bombarded with pointless messages. Send payment reminders and balance / usage messages, the only messages you really require. Reviewed on: 10th July 2025

Build my credit score

5
helped me build my credit when other providers wouldn’t give me a chance. The app is easy to use, and payments are straightforward. It’s a great card for anyone starting their credit journey. My only concern is that some customer service staff could be more polite and patient. not all, but a few calls felt rushed. Reviewed on: 10th July 2025

Communication..

I feel that when I have phoned to discuss the difficulty I had when trying to use the app due to forgetting my password staff was not very helpful. Reviewed on: 10th July 2025

If I have a problem they are friendly and are keen to help settle the matter expeditiously and are very supportive. You are helpful in keeping us up to date on fraud tips, which is very important. Reviewed on: 10th July 2025
