National Australia Bank (NAB) has launched a super clearing house in time for new SuperStream regulations that come into effect in November.
The bank has introduced online portal NAB Super Pay, which is accessible to fund, employer and self-managed super fund customers.
Through the online portal, employers can make contributions to multiple employee funds and self-managed funds without needing to process multiple data forms and making separate payment transactions.
NAB general manager wholesale wealth Nathan Gooley said employers can send in their super contributions using file extracts from their payroll system.
The super industry processes over 100 million transactions per year at a cost of about $3.5 billion.
A member body representing some prominent wealth managers is concerned super funds’ dominance is sidelining small companies in capital markets.
Earlier this month, several Australian superannuation funds fell victim to credential stuffing attacks, which saw a small number of members lose more than $500,000.
Small- to medium-sized funds have become collateral damage in an "imperfect" model for super industry levies, a financial institution has said.
Big business has joined the chorus of opposition against the proposed Division 296 tax.
