Questions

Where can I use my thimbl. credit card?

Nearly everywhere. Anywhere you see the Visa sign you can use your thimbl. credit card, both in the UK and abroad and online.

Can I manage my thimbl. account online?

Yes, you will be able to view your account balances, access your statements and pay your credit card bill online. You can also do all this from the Vanquis Bank mobile App, available for both Apple and Android.

What if other credit card providers have already turned me down?

Don’t worry, your credit history doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll get turned down. Applications are considered on an individual basis. You will still be considered if you’ve been turned down in the past.

* To build your credit rating and to be considered for credit limit increases, use your card sensibly, stay within your credit limit and pay at least your monthly minimum payment on time. Not doing so could harm your credit rating and make obtaining credit more difficult.

** Under section 75 of the consumer credit act 1974 credit card purchases over £100 are protected in some circumstances.
