Non-compliance penalties

From the ATO

Cash flow stress

With more frequent payments

Scrambling for new systems

under tight deadlines.

Make the switch early and let Beam take the stress away.

What this means for businesses that use SBSCH

Find a new clearing house

With the SBSCH closing, consider Beam as a smarter super payment technology – automated, compliant, and built to handle contribution for employers of all sizes with ease.

Transitioning early is essential

Waiting until mid 2026 to make the switch could leave you scrambling, especially if you need to change payroll providers or implement new systems. Making the move now allows you to test processes, train staff, and iron out any issues so you’re ready when payday super starts.

Expect tighter timeframes

Quarterly super payments will soon be a thing of the past. With payday super legislation, you’ll need to pay super at the same time you run payroll, which means updating processes to manage paying your team’s super more frequently.

Your options to replace SBSCH

There are two main ways business owners can manage super payments after July 2026.

Payroll software with built-in super payment features

Best for: employers with staff in multiple funds, or those who want automation, compliance certainty, and minimal admin

Beam-connected payroll systems make super payments easier and cut down on admin for busy business owners.

• Flags errors before payments are made
• Reduce the risk of errors that come from importing and exporting data between platforms
• Keeps you updated at every step

Clearing house services offered by super funds

Best for: employers with smaller teams

Some super funds offer their own clearing house services for employers with staff in their fund. Beam powers the super payment tech behind Australian Retirement Trust (ART), making it a cost effective option for businesses to manage super contributions.

How ART clearing house can help:

• Compliant super payment tech powered by Beam
• Secure online portal to submit and upload data
• No fees if ART is your default fund
• Pay multiple super funds via BPAY, EFT, or direct debit
