Selecting the right super fund is very important. We have provided you with easy access to these choice funds to make your choice an easy one, if you think that one of them might suit your needs. These funds are integrated with Flare to ensure a simple and smooth Superannuation setup and consolidation option.

USI
This is the Unique Superannuation Identifier number, it identifies where funds are distributed to through Super Stream reporting and remittance.
My Self Managed super fund
If you have your own Self-managed Super Fund where you are the trustee of the fund, you can enter the details of this fund into Flare to use them as your Superannuation choice.
Default fund
It is a legal requirement for all companies to have a Default Superannuation Fund setup in the instance where an employee may not wish to setup their own fund. You can select this fund as your Superannuation choice.
