Vanquis Credit Card reviews (476)

reliable but costly intrest if not paid on time

easy to apply and give temporary code if you need cash straight away but costly interest if your late repaying Reviewed on: 4th April 2018

Great

This company has helped me improve my credit history after I couldn't get credit anywhere else due to some mistakes I made in the past. They have easy payment options and send a couple pf reminders so I know exactly where I stand. Reviewed on: 9th January 2018

Fantastic

From start to finish an easy process at great rates. Money in bank before first payment has to be made and repayment date at a preferred time for you. Wow, I can't thank Vanquis enough for helping me out. If anyone needs a loan check this first as sure you will be thankful. Reviewed on: 4th January 2018

excellent from all credit

Helpful reminders to assist in rebuilding credit rating.

I really like this card. It has text message reminder features so you know when payments are due and balances are low. I have found it good that they don't give you instant increases bit it's based on the management of your account so as you evidence that you can manage your money to get access to greater increases. Customer service has been good, they offer an app which is helpful in keeping track of your usage. Is defiantly recommend Vanquis to others who have had credit difficulties in the past. Just remember that the interest rate is quite high so bear that in mind when applying. A+ Reviewed on: 3rd November 2017

Great to build up your credit if used correctly,

Fab non judgemental company and yes whilst interest rates are super high, if used correctly you can build up your credit score. Reviewed on: 1st October 2017

Gave me credit when few else would but that's the end of my positive experience

After getting into debt after my dad died, my credit rating took a bit hit. At one point I couldn't get credit from DFS for a sofa, or even a normal current account (I had to have a basic account with no debit card). I can't remember how I came across Vanquis but I applied and was accepted. At the time I was thrilled. I set up a direct debit to pay off the balance in full every month so that I would not accidentally miss a payment and end up damaging my credit rating again. After a few months they wrote and offered a credit limit increase. I called up to decline it. A few months later they did the same, but instead of offering the increase they had offered previously, they jumped up even higher, so I called up and declined that again. I believe I now have declined 3 credit increases, and I didn't see the letter for the last one and now have a credit limit which is way over my budget - if I spent that much I'd be properly in trouble. I've written to them complaining but their response was that I was making all the repayments so they weren't being an irresponsible lender. I still feel (particularly on cards for people rebuilding their credit) that credit limit increases should be an opt in rather than opt out but they don't agree. If you want a card which will help you rebuild your credit then it serves it's purpose. Just make sure you pay it off in full every month as the interest rates are really high. Other than that I probably wouldn't recommend them. Reviewed on: 23rd August 2017

excellent card

Vanquis approached me by post offering a card with competable interest. Initially vanquis claimed they would consider a credit limit increase after 4 months however 3 months in they changed their policy to 5 months with no exception to existing customers. Online banking is useful however paying off the credit card takes 3 working days which can be imconvenient when i send money over which i need to access soon after. Reviewed on: 8th August 2017

Good all round service

Fast approval and great app for smart phone makes it really easy to manage your account Reviewed on: 29th June 2017
