Vision Super is first off the mark to send contributions in the SuperStream format.
Vision Super has worked with two of its employers to finish off the initial testing of SuperStream with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
The fund announced Hansen Technologies was the first employer to use the new standard, and said both companies in the testing are running live with the SuperStream format.
