What is a credit card?

With a credit card, you can buy things now and pay for them later. You can spend up to a certain amount – this is known as your credit limit. Whenever you spend on your card, you’ll need to pay it back. You can pay everything you owe in full each month or just pay part of it. But you must make sure you pay at least the minimum payment each month to avoid late payment fees. You’ll be charged interest on outstanding balances.

How to choose the right credit card

Getting the right credit card can make a big difference to your finances. Start by thinking about how you spend money and what your goals are. If you’re looking to build or rebuild your credit, a credit builder card could be a smart move. If you have debt, a balance transfer card could help you save on interest.

Compare the fees, interest rates and benefits to find the card that ticks your boxes. This’ll help you manage your money better and get the most out of your credit card.

How could Vanquis help improve my credit score?

Improving your credit score depends on how well you manage your card. This means:

Staying within your credit limit – to help you control your spending and payments, our credit card offers come with a tailored credit limit. Our app also makes it easy to track your spending to help you stay within your limit. 

Paying on time – you can easily set up a Direct Debit in our app and choose a payment date that suits you. 

Paying off at least the minimum monthly amount – doing this helps avoid late payment fees. But paying more than the minimum amount – with a fixed monthly payment or even better, the full balance – can help you clear debt and boost your credit score faster. 

An app that puts you in control

Check your balance, make payments and get up-to-date account info 24/7. All on the Vanquis app.
