Holy reporting, Barclays!

I was approved for the Arrival card last week, but I haven't received it yet. But I got an email today from Credit Sesame that alerted me about the new account being open! Does Barclays always report this quickly?

Too bad they can't mail my card that fast! :-p

I asked the exact question a few days ago. Found it strange myself. Funny how different certain banks are, discover waits up to 3 months. Barclays not even 3 days.

Yeap they took 2 business days to report my account lol.

The card came a week after.

BofA, and other FIA backed products, seem to report within a couple days as well.

I have the Barclay NFL card. When I app'd for it, I got the notice of the new accnt on my CR before I got my card. So yes, they're pretty quick.

Barclays and GE makes sure they got you on LOCK so your future drapping will not produce new accounts!!!

My Barclays Arrival showed up on my EX the next morning. It was ridiculously quick. You'll notice when you log in to your account right after an instant approval that Barclays has already created and account number for you. It seems like a pretty impressive system to me.
