Let's start with the basics

When you become an Australian Retirement Trust member, you get a Super Savings Accumulation account.

Think of it like a bank account – it's where your super goes.

Which phase of superannuation are you in?

Our accounts help you make the most of the 2 phases of superannuation – accumulating money, and retirement. Even if you're somewhere in between, we have you covered.

1

Accumulation phase

This is when your super accumulates, or builds up, while you're working. Your employer pays super into your Accumulation account. You can add extra, too.

2

Retirement phase

This is when you can start withdrawing your super, whether you're nearing or in retirement. You can set up an income account (pension) to pay yourself while your super keeps earning.
