BPAY
How do I register for BPAY?
If you've joined Australian Retirement Trust as an employer, you can register for online access and make a single BPAY® payment for all your Australian Retirement Trust members, or you can make individual payments for each Australian Retirement Trust member by using our BPAY number generator.
Employers who haven’t joined Australian Retirement Trust and who have less than 20 employees can make individual BPAY payments for each of their employees using our BPAY number generator. These payment details will stay the same for all future payments, so you don't have to generate new details every time you want to make a payment.
It's important to note that from 1 July 2015 individual BPAY will not be a SuperStream compliant method of payment. The ATO have indicated employers paying via this method may incur fines.
Where can I find the biller code and reference numbers?
Individual BPAY biller codes and references can be generated using out BPAY® number generator.
Employers currently enrolled for Employer Online can make one single BPAY payment for all their Australian Retirement Trust employees. Biller codes and references number can be found on the Receipt page in Employer Online.
If your organisation has not joined Australian Retirement Trust, you can join now.

Paying super for your employees
How can I pay my employees' super?
We have a range of payment options for employers to give you flexibility in how you send us superannuation contribution details and money. The size and type of your business will often determine the best way to make payments. Which of our payment options are available to you will depend on whether or not you have joined Australian Retirement Trust as an employer. Find out about our payment options.
How much super do I need to pay?
Generally, employees aged over 18 and work full-time, part-time or on a casual basis, are covered by the SG legislation, currently set at 11.5% of ordinary times earnings. However, this is not the case for all employees. Find out more on how much you should pay.
