Why it’s important to check your super contributions
When someone pays you money they owe, it’s normal to check your bank account to see if it’s there. In the same way, it’s a good idea to regularly check your super account to keep on top of your transactions such as payments and contributions.
Nearly 90% of AustralianSuper members aged 50 and over said they would know if their super wasn’t paid correctly.2
Checking your super account for employer payments and extra contributions helps you know how your super is tracking - and what to do next. Logging into your account online or via the mobile app is the best way to stay across your super transactions. To make managing your contributions easier, simply adjust your notification settings in the app to receive a notification whenever an employer contribution lands in your account.
Two ways to check you’ve been paid super correctly
- Check your super transactions on the AustralianSuper mobile app by selecting Transactions from the bottom navigation.
- You can also login to your account online and select Transactions from the top menu bar.
