2023 was a challenging year for Vanquis Banking Group. After disappointing interim results in July 23, our new management team took immediate action to return the Group to a path of sustainable, profitable growth. Our North Star strategy will enable us to meet the needs of an expanded customer base and deliver attractive returns to our shareholders by 2026.
