Sunsuper goes direct
Big Queensland-based industry fund Sunsuper has moved to make membership easier with the introduction of an online sign-up arrangement.
Sunsuper chief executive Tony Lally said the new Internet-based service was part of the fund’s strategy to make superannuation simple for members.
“We want to encourage people to be more proactive when selecting a super fund and to take control of their investment decisions instead of relying on their employers to do it for them,” he said. “The first step to achieving this is to make the sign-up process as smooth and easy as possible.”
Lally said the ‘join online’ capability allowed new members to enrol with Sunsuper without having to go through a third party such as their employer.
