Review of the Vanquis, Credit card:

Good starting card

4
Took out a Vanquis card as I had no previous credit history and no other companies would accept. Application process - Accepted within a week via phone call, notified immediately of credit limit and when to expect card and paperwork etc... Using the card - Very easy online account management, easy to navigate through each different section online, can view your current purchases (usually 1-2 days to update) and previous statements. Excellent if you want to go paperless. Customer Service - Have had to call Vanquis a few times for various reasons, each time the queues are relatively short, waited no longer than 10 minutes on hold, the staff are friendly and helpful. Other - This is a good starter card, however as it is a credit building card for those with no or poor credit the APR can be high. Promotions - You may receive sales calls if you do not opt out, however they can be beneficial services so I would recommend only opting out of 3rd party ones and not ones direct through Vanquis. They offer payment protection plans and savings clubs etc... Overall - Good starting card and good for emergencies Reviewed on: 7th October 2014

Good company to work with.

5
Good company to work with. Friendly reminders when payment is due. All information is available on their website such as balance and payments. Accessibility available at all times. Interest rate is probably higher than it should be and would like it lower. The card is reassuring in an emergency and have no real issues, would recommend without hesitation.

Safe hands.

I actually don't like recommending people credit cards as they can end up with debt they may not be able to handle, but with this company I think people are in safe hands. Reviewed on: 13th June 2025
