You need enough income to afford monthly bill payments on a Bank of America credit card. Bank of America does not disclose specific minimum income requirements for its credit cards, but the higher your income is, the more likely you are to be approved.
Key Things to Know About Bank of America Credit Card Income Requirements
- The income you list on a credit card application doesn’t necessarily have to come from a job. Bank of America will also consider things like Social Security benefits, unemployment insurance, alimony payments, pension distributions, investment returns and more.
- If you are at least 21 years old, you may list shared household income on your application. If you are 18-20 years old, you may only include your own income.
- Your income affects more than just your ability to get a Bank of America credit card. If you are approved, it will also play a big part in determining your credit limit.
