I joined Aqua to improve my credit…

I joined Aqua to improve my credit score. It took a dive as they did a hard credit check. I got it through Experian as "no hard credit checks". Avoid them.

Misunderstanding over PIN…

To start with I was frustrated that you didn't send me my PIN, which meant I couldn't use my credit card. I then realised that I can retrieve my PIN on my App. Since then I have successfully used my card and everything is now working fine

I can’t understand why the deduction…

I can’t understand why the deduction doesn’t take place by itself on the date I’ve set for my full statement balance. I’ve set it to 3rd of each month but I always have to make the payments by myself. The account statements come on 13th or 14th of every month. I’m not sure if I should wait till statement because I don’t want to pay interest at any cost. Is there any way the deductions will be made by themselves automatically?

Heafty currency conversion charges…

Heafty currency conversion charges applied to my account after transactions on holiday likely mean I will now stop using Aqua.
