Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started!

Nasty Shock Awaiting ABA Bank customers

Post by takeoman »

ABA announced that they would be upgrading their system over the holiday, this was supposed to be completed by 8am today. I logged in to their Internet banking system around 2pm and was informed that "you have no accounts". They are now saying that things will be back to normal by the 11th. But I seem to remember a recent case in the UK when such an update resulted in weeks of problems for the customers. :hattip:

Yes. I tried to do a transfer today. Still out. I did not know it was coming.

This is a shock as it has been so reliable and excellent.

Both the missus and I received the following message from ABA via email and SMS last week...

Dear​ valued​ customers,

Please​ be​ informed​ that​ we​ scheduled​ a​ significant​ upgrade​ of​ our​ banking​ system​ from​ 6​ to​ 10​ October​ 2018.​ This​ is​ the​ part​ of​ our​ continuous​ plan​ to​ accommodate​ the​ increasing​ number​ of​ customers​ and​ to​ provide​ them​ with​ the​ best​ banking​ experience.​

The​ upgrade​ will​ impact​ some​ of​ our​ products​ and​ services​ as​ follows:
6​ October,​ 10:00​ pm​ –​ 9​ October,​ 11:00​ pm:​ some​ features​ of​ ABA​ Mobile​ app​ and​ iBanking​ service​ may​ not​ work​ stable​ or​ be​ unavailable.​
9​ October,​ 11:00​ pm​ –​ 10​ October,​ 08:00​ am:​ all​ ABA​ cards,​ ATMs,​ POS​ terminals,​ cash-in​ kiosks,​ ABA​ Mobile​ app​ and​ PayWay​ online​ payment​ gateway​ will​ be​ completely​ unavailable.​

We​ apologize​ for​ any​ inconvenience​ caused​ by​ this​ upgrade​ and​ express​ our​ sincere​ gratitude​ for​ your​ kind​ understanding!
Unfortunately it appears their upgrades are taking longer than expected. I have complete faith that our funds are secure and am not expecting a nasty shock, just as they were when they conducted upgrades a couple years ago.
