Who we are

We’re Vanquis Banking Group plc, an FTSE All Share company and a leading specialist bank, established in 1880. We lend responsibly, providing tailored products and services to 1.75 million UK customers through Vanquis, Moneybarn, and Snoop.  Lending responsibly and acting responsibly has always been at the centre of everything we do. What’s more, helping to aid financial inclusion and social mobility for our customers and the communities they live in, is a big part of why we’re here.

We offer credit cards and loans as Vanquis, Vehicle Finance as Moneybarn and through the award-winning fin-tech brand Snoop, our group provides people with a free credit score and personalised insights to help them better manage and understand their finances. All our credit products are delivered online and are built with customer flexibility in mind. We have a great team of colleagues working in our call centres and offices to support our customers and the development of more products to help meet their needs.

Our purpose is simple: to deliver caring banking so our customers can make the most of life’s opportunities.

Whether it's a tough situation, an exciting purchase, or navigating everyday life - we support our customers based on their circumstances. And we always try to find a way to help, even if it's not possible right away.

Making the most of life’s opportunities means different things to different people. It could mean borrowing for a significant purchase like a car. Or improving their credit score so they have more borrowing options at better rates. For some, it's simply about managing their finances more effectively during tighter months.

We're more than just another bank.

From the very beginning, we've cared about the communities we serve. We champion financial inclusion through our services and community initiatives. We promote social mobility through our Foundation by creating opportunities for children and young people.

We want our colleagues to work in an open and inclusive environment. Somewhere they can grow their careers and celebrate high performance. Meaning they can deliver for customers in a dynamic environment driven by a strong sense of purpose and in line with our values.
