Binding beneficiary

Take a moment now to ensure the right person gets your super if anything were to happen to you

The best way to ensure that your super and any insurance benefits are paid to who you intend is to nominate a binding beneficiary.

A binding nomination legally ‘binds’ the Australian Retirement Trust Trustee to pay your death benefit to who you nominate. Plus having a valid binding nomination reduces claim processing time.

3 steps to nominate a binding beneficiary

1. Make sure you have all the details

A binding nomination is valid for 3 years and you can only nominate a dependant and/or a legal personal representative.
