The digital age isn’t just about instant gratification.

It’s about simplicity, seamlessness, and service that fits effortlessly into our daily routines. We live in a world where we can order a pizza while binge-watching our favourite show. Yet, when it comes to managing our finances, we’re often left tapping our foot impatiently.

In bustling daily life, keeping contact details updated with banks, insurers, or super funds often falls through the cracks. Let’s face it; amid the whirlwind of moving boxes and address changes, notifying financial institutions isn’t usually top of the to-do list (figuring out if the internet has connected properly is usually where 90% of my brain power goes, the other 10% goes to whether the closest cafe is any good).

This lack of a ‘natural trigger’ leaves members scrambling to remember updates, turning what should be a simple task into an odyssey of login screens, customer service calls, and potential headaches.

Why is it that, when moving house, updating important details often plays out like this… 

1. Midway through packing the third box of vintage mugs you swear you need, it hits me. “I should probably update my address details with my bank, insurer, super fund, ATO, RMS, health insurer, gym, electoral roll… ahhh….”
2. You embark on the quest to figure out how you update every single provider. You contemplate if you should break up with some just to avoid the task. Would it be THAT bad if you still voted in your old district? The democracy sausages were always on point!
3. Successfully update 3 of the 15 providers on the list. Now super… Log in to your super fund’s website. Or was it a mobile app? Attempt to remember the password. Was it related to that holiday in ’09? Or the name of your first cat? Cue three failed attempts and a password reset.
4. Aha! Found the update section. But do you live on a ‘Way’, ‘Drive’, or ‘Avenue’? What’s the postcode? Back to your inbox to find your real estate confirmation email.
5. Squint at the minuscule boxes and type in your new address. Get distracted by the lounge which is stuck halfway in the door…
6. Focus! Hit ‘Save’ on the super fund website. Experience a rush of achievement, akin to summiting Everest. Wait for the confirmation email. Don’t see it? Check the junk mail. Still not there? Realise you never updated your email address. Facepalm.
7. Ok done. Now to the bank… Actually, it’s already 7pm and time to test out the new local pizzerias…

Thankfully, there’s a way to avoid this hectic scramble.

What is embedded super?

Picture a world where members effortlessly update their details on platforms they already use daily, seamlessly sharing the news of their latest move or contact change with employers and, by extension, their super funds, banks, and insurers. We call it embedded super. The new era of seamless integration, where updating your address is as intuitive and straightforward as liking a post on social media.

As Ray Jaramis discusses in the History of Super in Australia, the evolution of superannuation is heading towards more integrated solutions like embedded super.

Essentially, embedded super refers to placing a superannuation product within a non-super platform, service or digital customer experience that members already use. It allows members to manage their superannuation seamlessly alongside their other activities, enhancing member context, engagement and streamlining interactions with super.

A transformative member experience

In a world where sophisticated algorithms suggest your next favourite song and one-click purchases are the norm, we believe streamlining our superannuation is going to be transformative in improving member engagement, and ultimately satisfaction.

We believe in creating a digital world where our day-to-day conveniences are seamlessly integrated. Where a single update resonates across the platforms you choose, simplifying the way to make sure you’re always in sync with your super funds, banks, and insurers.
