Established in 1992, we are now part of Vanquis Banking Group, a specialist bank offering affordable financial services to everyday people.

After 22 independent years, Moneybarn was acquired in 2014 to provide responsible vehicle finance to people in the UK not well served by mainstream banks, joining the other credit card and loans businesses the Group own.

Who are Vanquis Banking Group?

Vanquis Banking Group has a rich history dating back to 1880.

The company was founded in Bradford by Joshua Kelley Waddilove as The Provident Clothing and Supply Company to help people access finance and goods who couldn’t from traditional lenders. Today, Vanquis Banking Group is a FTSE All Share company listed on the London Stock Exchange with around 1.7 million customers and plays the same role in people’s lives today, as it did when it was founded.

Vanquis Banking Group’s Purpose

Our purpose is simple. We help put people on a path to a better everyday life. We do this by providing finance that is suited to their needs and budget, and we make sure our products are responsible and sustainable so that we provide the best possible service for our customers. 

Vanquis Banking Group is proud to invest in activities that support local community projects and activities that boost education and skills that could improve someone’s ability to get credit. The Group has a clear understanding of what financial inclusion and social mobility mean for our customers, and we are proud of the successes that our Social Impact Programme has on supporting these issues.

We focus on how we can improve the life of our customers, support education and how we can enhance communities, all of which support the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

As a company we believe in building a fair, equal and inclusive culture for all our colleagues and have taken progressive steps to ensure this is the case. For further details please have a read of our Gender Pay Gap Report.
