If your company has enabled the Super Choice Marketplace, you can choose from the following:

• Existing APRA Funds
• Super Choice Funds
• Self-Managed Super fund (SMSF)
• Employer-nominated fund, which only appears if the business has a default fund set up

Note: If you selected Yes to the Use my personal details to find existing superfunds question in the Personal Details stage, we will automatically search for details of an existing super fund on other platforms. If we find a match, we will ask if you want to continue with that fund on the Your existing fund tab.

Employees' options regarding funds are as follows:

• They can join a new partner fund from the Featured funds tab.
• They can select their existing complying APRA super fund by searching for it on the Other existing funds tab.
  
  • If you select the super fund, the platform will then pre-fill the super fund's ABN and product code, and the employee will need to enter their member number.
• Employees can also enter details for the self-managed super fund (SMSF) by clicking on the Get Started button within the Your SMSF tile on the Other existing funds tab.

Note: If employees choose the latter option, they then need to enter the following details:

• SMSF name
• ABN
• Account name
• BSB
• Account number
• Electronic service address (ESA)

The employer-nominated fund only appears if your business has a default fund set up. To access this option, click the Other heading as it will then open to reveal the Employee Default Fund tile.

Once the employee clicks Get started within the Employer default fund tile, the name of the default super fund will appear. At this point, click the Next button to proceed with the rest of the self-setup process.
