Employers who make contributions to your SMSF need the following e-commerce details:
- your SMSF's ABN
- your SMSF's BSB and bank account number for payments
- an electronic service address for contribution data.
All employers should be using SuperStream.
You need to make sure:
- you provide your SMSF e-commerce details by the date requested
- your SMSF is ready to receive their payments and data.
If your employer does not have all the details to send contributions to your SMSF electronically, they can ask you to complete a Superannuation standard choice form within a reasonable period of time (usually 28 days).
From 1 November 2021, your new employer may have an extra step to take to comply with choice of fund rules if you don’t choose a super fund. They may need to request details of your 'stapled super fund' from us.
A stapled super fund is an existing super account which is linked, or 'stapled', to an individual employee so that it follows them as they change jobsIf you do not provide a completed form to your employer, and you don’t have a stapled super fund, they can direct your contributions to their default fund.
