What’s QuickSuper?

QuickSuper1 is our online superannuation clearing house. It lets you make super contributions for all your employees in one simple payment, even if they belong to other superannuation funds – saving you time and effort. 

You can choose the payment frequency that suits you and can make additional payments (on top of your Superannuation Guarantee contributions) as needed. QuickSuper is compliant with the government’s SuperStream standards too, so you’ve got one less thing to think about.

QuickSuper is available at zero cost for all registered Hostplus employers.

Business tools

How does it work?

QuickSuper automates your employees’ super contributions. You just need to register your employees and create their online contributions – or you can streamline your workload by uploading a contribution file from compatible payroll software. QuickSuper accepts the standard SuperStream Alternative File Format (SAFF).

Once the contribution information has been submitted, you’ll log in to your financial institution’s online banking and make a single lump-sum payment by EFT. QuickSuper then separates the payment into individual contributions and distributes them to the relevant super funds, along with the associated employee information. 

You’ll also have access to historical contribution and transaction summary reports. 

And that’s it – so you can get back to your business.

Apply for QuickSuper

If you’re a Hostplus employer, it’s quick and easy to register for QuickSuper online. Once you’ve submitted your application, we’ll be in touch within five days.

Files need to be submitted in CSV (comma delimited) format. If you’ve used Excel to originally create the file, you may have problems with Unique Superannuation Identifiers (USIs) and member IDs that are long numeric values, as Excel may convert these into a scientific notation when you save your file to a CSV format. To avoid this, prefix the member ID with a hash (#) symbol. QuickSuper will remove the hash symbol before storing the information and passing it to a fund.
