Sunsuper has unveiled a range of improvements to its digital realm for employers.
The fund has upgraded its Employer Online system, including partnering with SuperChoice for its Sunsuper Clearing House, which allows employers to manage superannuation obligations in one online platform.
Sunsuper’s customer service general manager Steven Travis said online contribution processes for superannuation were usually complex and looked at legal compliance and administrative accuracy for employers.
“With the industry transitioning to mandatory e-commerce for employers through SuperStream from July 2014, Sunsuper has invested in research and development initiatives to better understand the ongoing needs of employers,” Travis said.
Employers can streamline their super payments on Employer Online, and can do a range of things including sending contributions to multiple super funds, paying contributions by direct debit of BPAY and checking online transaction history.
They can also update employee records and enter contribution details manually or upload contribution files.
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.
