National Australia Bank (NAB) has launched a super clearing house in time for new SuperStream regulations that come into effect in November.
The bank has introduced online portal NAB Super Pay, which is accessible to fund, employer and self-managed super fund customers.
Through the online portal, employers can make contributions to multiple employee funds and self-managed funds without needing to process multiple data forms and making separate payment transactions.
NAB general manager wholesale wealth Nathan Gooley said employers can send in their super contributions using file extracts from their payroll system.
The super industry processes over 100 million transactions per year at a cost of about $3.5 billion.
Super funds have built on early financial year momentum, as growth funds deliver strong results driven by equities and resilient bonds.
The super fund has announced that Mark Rider will step down from his position of chief investment officer (CIO) after deciding to “semi-retire” from full-time work.
Rest has joined forces with alternative asset manager Blue Owl Capital, co-investing in a real estate trust, with the aim of capitalising on systemic changes in debt financing.
The Future Fund’s CIO Ben Samild has announced his resignation, with his deputy to assume the role of interim CIO.
