Have multiple super accounts in your name? Combine them now to maximise your dollars.

Why combine multiple super accounts?

Keep your hard-earned dollars 

Stop multiple account fees draining your balance. When you choose to combine your super into a single fund, you’ll pay less on admin, 
so your savings actually stay invested.

Maximise your super investment

With less money spent on fees and more money staying in your super, you have a bigger base to benefit from strong performance. Thanks to compound returns, this base grows more powerful over time, supercharging your investment.

Stay in control of your super

With your super combined into a single account with CFS, it’s easy to see how it’s tracking. See how your savings are performing and make any adjustments to your investment preferences – effortlessly. 

Tap into the super power of compound returns

The longer your balance has to grow, the harder it works for you. That means a small change now, like combining your super accounts so you pay less in admin fees, can make a big difference in the long run.

Things to check before you combine your super

Which insurances you have, and which super accounts they’re associated with

Make sure the account you're keeping has enough cover to meet your needs. You can check which insurances are attached to your CFS account through FirstNet.

Where your employer contributions are going

If they’re currently going to an account you want to close, you’ll need to let your employer know where they should go from now on. Need to bring your super to your FirstChoice account? Use the CFS Super Choice - Fund Nomination form.

If there are any other regular contributions going into an account you’re closing

You’ll need to change any salary sacrifice or regular direct debits so they go into the super account you’re keeping open. Speak to your employer or bank to sort this out.

If you have a SMSF or defined benefit fund

It’s best to speak to a financial adviser before combining your accounts to ensure you’re across all the implications. You can use Find an Adviser if you don’t already have one.
