Absolutely terrible service from…

Absolutely terrible service from Vanquis. I purchased the card for a balance transfer. I then done a cash transfer which I paid the full amount off and more in 12 days not even a month and was charged ridiculous interest. Upon contacting them the monies I paid was not paid off the full amount of the cash balance which I thought would happen. I therefore had to close the account as I would accrue large interest amounts going forward. Terrible customer service

Outstanding card for rebuilding credit score and gaining financial control
​I’ve been using my Vanquis Credit Card for a while now, and it has been an absolute game-changer for my credit profile and financial confidence.
​What I love about it:
​Easy Approval Process: The application process was quick, straightforward, and clear from start to finish.
​Credit Building: Starting with a manageable limit allowed me to make regular purchases and pay them off in full each month. Within a few months, I saw a noticeable boost in my credit score across major credit bureaus.
​User-Friendly App: The mobile app makes it effortless to keep track of spending, check balance updates in real-time, and make fast payments on the go.
​Clear Communication: Payment reminders ensure I never miss a due date, which keeps my account in good standing without any stress.
​Tips for future users:
As long as you manage it responsibly—paying off the full balance on time every month—it is easily one of the most reliable and effective tools available for building or repairing your credit history. Highly recommended!
