How fast is BOA?

[Anonymous]

Anybody know how long it takes BOA to report a new account?  Just applied and got a BOA card and wonder how long before I can expect to see the tradeline show up.

I suppose I cannot set up online banking until the card arrives.  Do they send the card quickly?

Within 7 days.  The same for when adding AUs too.

Hopefully they are faster than AmEx, I apped and was approved for the Blue Cash on the 28th of March, got the card in 2 days (VIA next day air UPS) and they still have yet to report it to the CRA's, I'm looking forward to this card being reported, I had it backdated to 91 so it will be reported as a 20 year old card which may help me gain a few points and lengthen my AAoA.

Best of luck to you.

Thanks, DI!

Do you mean they report within 7 days?

Any way to set up onlinebanking before I get the card?

Yes within 7 days.  It should appear on your Experian report first.    No, can't set-up online banking without the account number and possibly the 3 digit numbers on the back of the card.
