Talk:Vanquis Banking Group

Reads like an ad for the company

This article isn't very good. This bit reads like and out-and-out ad for the company:

"Provident's home credit service provides access to those of modest means to appropriate amounts of credit with a transparent, low risk, convenient, flexible repayment method." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.159.192.126 (talk) 17:03, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

This company effectively no longer exists

It’s now been taken over by its former subsidiary Vanquis. 109.181.117.35 (talk) 17:00, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

According to the RNS and companies house it was a name change rather than a restructuring. I have merged the two articles. Thanks. Dormskirk (talk) 18:43, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
