Important
BGL will be launching a new SuperStream Electronic Service Address (ESA) called BGLSF360 that supports SuperStream Rollovers, Release Authorities and Contributions. As of 01/10/2021, all new registrations will use the BGLSF360 ESA Only. Existing Australia Post registrations will continue to be supported for Contribution data only. The BGLSF360 ESA will be the recommended SuperStream integration.
What is SuperStream?
SuperStream is a government reform designed to enhance the efficiency of the super system. Under SuperStream, employers are required to make super contributions, both data and payment, on behalf of their employees electronically. All super funds, including SMSFs, must receive contribution data and payments electronically in accordance with the SuperStream standard.
SuperStream Gateways will collect your contribution data from employers and distribute this data to your SMSF.
This means that employers will be able to send superannuation contributions and data to multiple funds in one standard electronic format, instead of sending information to separate funds in multiple formats.
Australia Post will provide Simple Fund 360's SuperStream Gateway
BGL has partnered with Australia Post to provide SuperStream services. Registration can be done directly through Simple Fund 360 free of charge. Do not register directly through Australia Post as a cost will be incurred.
What happens if I migrate my funds from Simple Fund to Simple Fund 360?
If you have already registered and paid for SuperStream in Simple Fund, no refund will be provided for a fund upon migration to Simple Fund 360. No further renewal will be required as the service forms part of your subscription in Simple Fund 360. Once migrated any correspondence from Australia Post in regards to renewals for a fund now on Simple Fund 360 can be disregarded.
Any prior contribution data obtained via SuperStream prior to migration for the fund will still be accessible from Simple Fund 360 post-migration.
Where can I find the Electronic Service Address (ESA)?
The Electronic Service Address (ESA) is required by employers so that they can send contribution data to that address. Each SuperStream Gateway has a unique ESA.
The ESA is available in the Trustee/Employer Notification Letters which can be prepared after you have registered the fund for SuperStream.
The ESA will also be saved under Fund | Fund Details.
