I received my notification about a new issue but can't get access the issue. Why?
Within the e-mail notification you received there is a cover image to click on to view the new issue. That image contains a piece of coding, called a "cookie," that uniquely identifies your subscription. However, if your browser does not allow cookies, or you try to access the issue by typing http://magazines.aba.com/bmmag in your browser, you must "identify" yourself. You will be greeted by another cover image or a pop-up window that reads "If you are a current subscriber click here to login and view the full edition." Simply click through and when asked for your Email or Customer ID enter the same e-mail address that ABA has on file for your subscription and you will immediately enter the issue.
Are the online issues of ABA Bank Marketing the same as the printed versions?
Yes, the online and the print issues are exactly the same. The only difference is that the version online offers a number of useful features, such as active links and e-mail addresses, a Search function and an Archive of previous issues.
Will I still receive my printed copies in the mail?
Yes. The online issues are in addition to, not a replacement of, the print publications.
Can I view a tutorial that highlights the features of my online issue?
Yes. Turn up your speakers, click here, and give us 7 minutes and you'll learn about each exciting feature and how it functions.
Is support available if I'm having technical troubles with my online issue?
Yes. Please start by reviewing the Troubleshooting Guide below. If that does not resolve the problem, please click here to provide details of your request.
How long will issues be available?
As long as you are an active subscriber, your issues will never be deleted. After you login, the current issue will be the first you see. As new issues become available, they will replace the current issue and all others for which you were a subscriber, dating back to January 2009, will be available in your Archive.
How will I know when a new issue is ready?
Each time a new issue is ready, you will receive a notification by e-mail. You can also receive a RSS feed by clicking on the orange RSS button on the right side of the menu bar.
Can I view my issues without the e-mail notification?
Yes. When you access an issue using the notification e-mail that you received, you will be taken directly to the current issue. However, if you did not save that notification e-mail, you may access your current and past issues at any time by going through the appropriate URL below. Doing so in this manner will require you to login to prove you are a valid subscriber. Otherwise it makes no difference which way you access the issue. The appropriate URLs are:
