What is a credit card?
A credit card lets you borrow money to buy things now and pay for them later. You can spend up to a certain amount, which 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 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
Choosing the right credit card can make a big difference in 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 good choice. If you have debt, a balance transfer card could help you save on interest.
Compare the fees, interest rates, and benefits of the different cards to find the one that fits your needs best. Making an informed choice can help you get the most out of your credit card and manage your money better.

How could Vanquis help improve my credit score?
Improving your credit score depends on how well you manage your card. This means:
Staying within you 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 on our app and choose a payment date that suits you.
Paying off at least the minimum amount each month - this helps to avoid being charged a late payment fee. But, to help clear your debt and potentially improve your credit score sooner, you can pay more than the minimum amount as a fixed payment each month, or the full balance.
