Super Fondsname
Our online services display the name of your pension product, which has been reported to us by your pension fund.
Two accounts for the same fund
We display your Super Accounts as reported to us by your Super Fund.
There can be 2 accounts because you can have 2 separate accounts within your Superfund.
We have not shared your account information. Your Superfund may be able to give you more information.
Accounts not shown
Some Superfund accounts may not appear online for the following reasons:
- previously claimed or transferred accounts
- Member account details are not reported by Super Funds
- We cannot reconcile the account details provided by your Superfund.
Your Superfund may be able to give you more information.
your account balances
Our online services display information reported to us by your Superfund. However, it is not reported in "real time" so it may not reflect the actual balance of your Super Account. Sometimes super funds do not report an account balance.
There are a few things to note:
- Your account balance may not match the balance on your most recent statement because the information is not reported to us immediately. Check the date of the report next to the account balance: Your fund may have issued a member account statement after you informed us.
- If you're waiting for a transfer from an ATO held annuity and it doesn't show up on your balance, it may be because your fund won't accept an ATO held annuity. You should check with your cashier. You can nominate another fund.
- If you are a member of a Super Defined Benefit scheme, your account balance reported to us may vary from one scheme to another. Please refer to your Membership Statement for more details.
- For Commonwealth public service defined benefit schemes, including CSS and PSS, your account balance shows the withheld benefit (contributions and accrued earnings) as at 30 June.
Your Superfund may be able to give you more information.
Exceptions to what people will see
There are a number of exceptions that mean the information may not be available:
- SMSFs still don't report their super information as regularly as the (big) APRA regulated funds. People should check their current balance with their SMSF.
- Defined benefit funds and some public sector pension schemes report differently. People only see information from the last date of the annual report.

Things to consider before transferring
When you put all your Supers in one account, you only pay a set of fees and account fees. It also makes it easy to keep track of your Super.
Please check with both super funds, particularly the account being transferred, so that you are aware of any applicable fees or charges, loss of rights (e.g. life insurance) or any other information about the implications of this transfer are you. You can have in your super advantages
The transfer of your benefits does not change the fund to which your employer pays your contributions. Talk to your employer about whether you are free to choose the fund into which you pay your employer contributions.
The transfer of profits from a fund may close this account. There are a few important factors to consider before transferring your Super:
- Differences in rates can make a big difference in how much money you will have when you retire.
- The fund you wish to leave may charge management fees and exit or withdrawal fees.
- The fund you wish to transfer to may have an entry or deposit fee.
- The Inheritance Fund can insure you against death, illness or accident that causes you to be unable to work. If you leave this fund you may lose these rights; Check if the other fund offers comparable coverage. Our online services mark each Super Account that includes insurance with a "yes" indicator.
- The fund you wish to transfer to may not accept transfers of funds held by ATOs or Super Funds; check before you start the transfer.
- There are no fees or charges for transferring super money held by ATOs to a super fund account.
If you are unsure what to do, seek independent financial advice or contact your Superfund.
Check the super fund receiving the super to make sure they accept power transfers.
