Also known as: Vanquis Bank; Moneybarn; Snoop
Vanquis Banking Group plc is the holding company for a group of specialist consumer finance businesses. It is a publicly listed company on the London Stock Exchange. The group includes Vanquis Bank (credit cards and personal loans for non-standard credit customers), Moneybarn (vehicle finance for customers with poor credit), and the Snoop money management app.
Vanquis Banking Group brings together businesses focused on providing financial products to customers who are underserved by mainstream banks. These are customers with limited credit histories, previous financial difficulties, or other factors that make accessing standard financial products harder.
As a holding company, Vanquis Banking Group plc itself does not deal directly with retail customers. Products are offered through its subsidiary companies. If you have a credit card or loan from Vanquis Bank, or vehicle finance from Moneybarn, those are the entities to contact for specific queries.
Vanquis Banking Group plc is listed on the London Stock Exchange. Its subsidiaries — Vanquis Bank and Moneybarn — are individually regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and, in the case of Vanquis Bank, also the Prudential Regulation Authority.
