Australian Employers are required to pay Superannuation to their Employees at a minimum Quarterly. Superannuation must be paid and reported electronically to meet Super Stream requirements. Super payments are sent to the Superfunds in a specific electronic format that contains key employee information.

There are several options available to pay super electronically, the most common is to use a Clearing House. 

Businesses can pay their Super obligations electronically using KeyPay. The first step is to register your Business to the Beam Superannuation Clearing House. Once registered, a Business can pay super obligations by processing a batch payment that can be paid either by Bpay, Direct Debit or EFT.
