Great credit card

Ive found Vanquis to be an excellent credit card.
The app is great. Easy to track spending and make payments. They periodically offer to increase credit limit which you dont need to accept.
I first signed up with them as my credit score needed improving and Vanquis certainly helped there and has helped me get it back to excellent .

Very difficult to open an account with them. I tried to open a cash ISA, but they wanted original documents (ie my passport) or certified copies, which cost money to get. Very unhelpful service. I don't understand why they are not able to use digital identification services like other providers do. Seems pretty outdated to me.
