Sunsuper has cut its administration fees for all its pension products to remain competitive.
The fund dropped the Sunsuper Income Account weekly pension fees from $4 to $3, effective from 30 September 2017.

“We’re also one of the few funds in the country rewarding Australians at the end of their working lives with a retirement bonus of up to $4,800 when they open an Income Account,” she said.
“Our scale, strong net cash flows, end-to-end service model and profit for member pricing philosophy means we will continue to be one of the market’s lowest cost providers, delivering ongoing value for our customers.”
