Vanquis credit cards are a great option for those who are just starting to build their credit rating, or need some help with improving it.
This is everything you need to know about your Vanquis credit card, such as making payments, activating the card, checking your balance and more.
Vanquis interest rates
As these cards are designed to help you build or improve your credit rating, this results in high interest rates. So, they can be a very expensive form of borrowing. With this in mind, if you are taking out a Vanquis credit card, it should be done with the expectation of clearing your balance in full each and every month to avoid being slapped with their high interest charges.
Vanquis credit limits
Credit limits from Vanquis can be typically quite low, ranging between £150 and £1,000, to start with. After every five months however, customers can apply to have their limit increased.
The maximum credit limit that Vanquis offer on their credit cards is £4,000, but it’s important to note that only customers who have proven that they will pay their bills on time, and manage their account sensibly will be considered for the maximum credit limit.
