Aqua cards are a range of credit cards which are designed to help customers who have poor credit rating or a thin file credit report to increase their credit score. While the APR is higher than over credit cards, Aqua provides cards to applicants that may be rejected by traditional credit card companies.

Aqua cards work the exact same way that a traditional credit card works. Use your credit card as and when you need to, ensuring that you don’t max out your credit limit and that you make your repayments in full and on time each month.

Using your card and making regular repayments will demonstrate to credit reference agencies and lenders that you can use credit responsibly, therefore improving your credit score. You can track your spending and your monthly payments by using the handy to use the mobile app.
