After completing the Beam registration process, you can immediately begin making contributions. Simply log back into your payroll system to see your selected default fund(s) in the super settings. You can modify these settings anytime by revisiting the Beam wizard to update your payment method and default fund(s).
To complete the Beam onboarding process, you will need to choose at least one super fund as your default fund. Having a registered default super fund with Beam allows you to quickly create new member accounts for employees who don’t choose a super fund or have a stapled fund.
You will also need to make sure that you have entered as a participating employer (sometimes called a ‘standard employer-sponsor’) when you register to your chosen default super fund, to be able to create new member accounts with them.
You can learn more about adding super funds here.
If you select Australian Retirement Trust as your default fund, you can register as a participating employer with Australian Retirement Trust in the Beam Wizard. Before you choose Australian Retirement Trust as your default fund, it’s important to read the Australian Retirement Trust Super Savings Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) and Target Market Determination (TMD) guides, as these include important information about the product your employees will be acquiring, including the fees, investment strategy, insurance and more. The PDS and guides are available at australianretirementtrust.com.au/pds-guides
