OREANDA-NEWS.  Fitch Ratings has issued a presale for BA Credit Card Trust, class A (2015-1), which Fitch expects to rate as follows:

--\$TBD class A (2015-1) 'AAAsf'; Outlook Stable.

KEY RATING DRIVERS:

Fitch's ratings are based on the underlying receivables pool, available credit enhancement, Bank of America, N.A.'s underwriting and servicing capabilities, and the transaction's legal and cash flow structures, which employ early redemption triggers.

The transaction structure is the same as class A (2014-3), with credit enhancement totaling 31.75% for class A.

RATING SENSITIVITIES:

Fitch models three different scenarios when evaluating the rating sensitivity compared to expected performance for credit card asset-backed securities transactions: 1) increased defaults, 2) a reduction in purchase rate, and 3) a combination stress of higher defaults and lower monthly payment rate (MPR).

Increasing defaults alone has no impact on rating migration even in the most severe scenario of a 75% increase in defaults. The rating sensitivity to a reduction in purchase rate also does not result in rating migration even in the most severe scenario of a 100% reduction in purchase rate. The harshest scenario assumes both stresses to defaults and MPR to occur simultaneously. The ratings would only be downgraded under the severe stress of a 75% increase in defaults and 35% reduction in MPR.

To date, the transactions have exhibited strong performance with all performance metrics within Fitch's initial expectations.
