Banco do Brasil

[Anonymous]

Has anyone gotten approved for a Banco do Brasil card that doesn't live in Florida?

I understand they take awhile to process the app, how soon should I call, or do I just wait to hear?

Thanks!

Yes, I have. You should get a call roughly two weeks into the app. That's a verification call. If you don't receive one. There's a good chance your app was denied. The entire process was a month for me. They are sloooowwww!

Lol,this card tried to be fotm turned out to be foty. Only a few select brave applied and even fewer approved. If you dont live in Florida, I'd recommend just getting another that can fill your needs that's easier to deal with. Just my dos centavos

I was approved in Texas without a verification call.

I was approved in New York without a verification call. Took about a month from app to delivery of the card.

A bit off topic, but can someone explain the appeal of their cards to me? I just don't see the allure besides the cards have cool designs.

In my situation, needed cards off the beaten path that wouldn't mind lots of inquiries to handle something short term.

I've seen others who applied that did so thinking there were possibly big limits available.

They are slow so don't know yet how this will turn out. I'm thinking will call to find out on about day 8 after applying.

There is a niche for small FDIC-insured banks that are affiliated with a large foreign bank that also issues their own cards instead of farming them out to Elan

The rewards are generic, the card management site is a bit clunky, and people looking for a big starting limit should probably look elsewhere.  Only a few of us here even managed to get a $10K SL.  But yes the card looks cool.
