Vanquis Credit card reviews (549)

Okay as a last resort

2
The company lend to people with a less than average credit rating, I would only (and have ) use them if I couldn't find a better interest rate. They are fine as long as you keep up your payments but I did find them aggressive in some of their dealings. Reviewed on: 30th April 2017

Very high interest rates

1
I picked this card a while back (I no longer have it) to help rebuild my credit. As a student the urge to use it to spend was very high. As I kept up with my payments they increased my limit and I used it. They don't allow you to make extra payments it's minimum or all of the balance needless to say I had to Take a loan to pay it off, as over three years I'd literally paid enough in to pay the Balance off however it all went on interest and the balance never came down. Be very cautious Reviewed on: 15th January 2017
