Well this is a first ... Have to wait 2-3 days to verify my bank account with them ? luckily I didn't decide to set my account up 2 days before the bill is due lol

June was the first time since 2010 that I had a BOA cc and I don't remember having to verify an account.... but I must have as I had to do it again this time. One good thing about BOA and any local bank, you can pay at a branch office.

Don't have any Bank of America branches near me. They have a building near me but it is only ATM's

I'm actually surprised other companies don't have you do this. You could easily have stolen someone's chequebook and used their information.

I have a loan out with BOA. The same thing happened to me, thought my first payment would be late, but the rep I spoke with said I actually have an additional 2 weeks from the first payment date to make a payment, thank goodness. I'm not sure if this applies to their credit cards though.

Eh.   I'm curring doing this for my auto loan with Chase (Mazda Capital Services) and I had to do that with Scottrade.   Both companies have an "Instant Verification" feature that doesn't work well with my CU.
