About us

Finding a credit card for bad credit

We understand that life has its ups and downs, and that getting it right every time isn't easy.

We think that many hard-working people with a poor credit history deserve the convenience and freedom of a credit card, and that getting rejected by other credit card companies for bad credit can feel unfair.

While we're no longer accepting new opus applications, you may want to consider Aqua as the smart way to build your credit score - giving you the power to move forward.

Bad credit? Aqua could help

Aqua knows a thing or two about helping those with bad credit and looks at your circumstances a little more closely than other card providers. If you have a poor credit history, they'll do their best to say yes, responsibly.

So, if you don't earn as much, your income isn't always regular, or you're moving on from a bump in the road with your credit score, Aqua may be able to offer you the help you need when you need it - whether it's credit building tools or expertise to keep you moving from one day to the next.

Plus, you'll have access to free credit score updates in the Aqua app, and when you manage your finances well, you could build your credit score over time.

Don't forget

Failure to make payments on time or to stay within your credit limit means that you'll pay additional charges, and may make it more expensive and difficult to get credit in the future.
