Great little card, gave me a card even though I had a bad credit rating. It is now helping me build up my crdit rating, which I am thankful for. Their online banking website is really good and easy to use too. Reviewed on: 30th May 2018

Because I'd lived in Europe for 16 years, I had a low credit score in the UK. Vanquis were the only company who would give me a credit card. I feel that although their fees and interest are high to cover their risk, they have always been very open about what they charge and how the card works. They've also been very pro-active in helping me to build my credit score. I now have an excellent rating, mostly because Vanquis made it easy to manage my card. Reviewed on: 27th April 2018
