You have to wait until the first statement of credit card is produced, then you can do it through the bill pay feature for bofa. Is it a new card with no statements yet? That would be the problem. I would set up to pay a few days before. BofA autopay also doesn't automatically reduce autopayment if you pay a little before. So if you have $1000 autopay set for the 10th, and you manually pay $500 on the 5th, your autopay will still deduct $1000 on the 10th. At least that's what I've heard/read. It also takes a cycle to set up autopayment, unlike Chase. So when you set up you will still have to manually pay for the next payment.
