Active Super has launched a Super Booster reward program in association with retailers.
The service would be available in more than 250 retailers including The Iconic and BWS, in 2,000 locations nationwide and enable members to receive a percentage of their purchase value added to their superannuation balance.
Percentages varied from 2%-25% of the value of the transaction and was paid for by retailers rather than the members.
Active Super had launched the program in partnership with fintech firm Loyalty Boomerang and had exclusive rights for 12 months.
Chantal Walker, chief member experience and growth officer for Active Super, said: “We’re excited to be giving back to our members by launching the Super Booster initiative in partnership with Loyalty Boomerang and some of Australia’s most popular retailers.
“What makes Super Booster simple is that it is a ‘set and forget’ program, meaning our members can use it on the go, in-store or online, and get rewarded. The Active Super Booster is hassle-free, requiring little effort from members to redeem their rewards. They do not have to scan a loyalty card or log onto a website, so members can boost their super balance easily and simply.”
Active Super was currently exploring a merger with Vision Super.
The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) has modified the additional licence conditions imposed on the trustee.
AFCA’s chief executive urged member firms to up their internal dispute resolution processes in order to cut down on costs owed to the authority.
ASFA’s CEO called Joe Longo’s comments on super “unfounded and unfair”, after the ASIC chair said fund trustees don’t always “know their business”.
Less than a month after being ordered to pay $27 million for failing to merge duplicate member accounts, Australia’s biggest super fund is again the target of a suit launched by the corporate regulator.
