Signing Contract >> Onboarding Process

Wondering what the rough timeframe between these two stages are for a SA role? After signing your contract how long does it take for banks to start requesting background checks, criminal checks, transcripts etc.

I signed my contract about a week ago. Is this something the banks get onto quickly? Or do they usually wait a few months? Or do they begin the onboarding process closer to 2020 Summer?
