Choice Income - our account based pension

You've worked hard for your super, now let it work for you. Turn your super into a regular source of income in retirement.

What's an account-based pension

When you retire, you can receive a regular income from your super while keeping your super balance invested. It's easy with an account-based pension.

You use money from your super account to open an account-based pension like our Choice Income account, and you can set it up to suit your financial needs.

  • Flexible payments. Choose how much you want paid straight into your bank account and how often. You can also take out extra money from your Choice Income account anytime.
  • Control how you invest your balance or leave investment decisions to our experts, and you could earn returns throughout your retirement.
  • Save tax. You no longer pay tax on investment returns, and over age 60 income payments are tax free.

How Choice Income works

Your Choice Income account starts when you transfer your super over, and your payment and investment options are set up. You start receiving regular income payments from the date you choose.

Positive investment returns add to your balance; your income payments, fees and any negative returns reduce it. Income payments continue to you until the balance is reduced to zero.
