From the 4th of September 2020 the Direct Debit facility offered by QuickSuper will end, with all employers needing to amend their payment method to electronic funds transfer (EFT).
QuickSuper, which is operated by Westpac, is Aware Super’s clearing house service and helps make paying superannuation contributions easy for employers. Due to changes being implemented by Westpac, there are a few things QuickSuper users need to do next time they log in.
Terms and conditions update
There has been a minor update to the terms and conditions for the QuickSuper system. Next time you log in to QuickSuper you will need to accept these changes to continue.
We encourage you to take action sooner rather than leave it until file submission to avoid delays when you come to lodge your file.
Direct Debit changes
Effective 4th September 2020, Direct Debit will no longer be available as a payment method for superannuation contributions within QuickSuper. All employers using Direct Debit as their superannuation contributions payment method in QuickSuper will need to transition to the EFT payment method.
