Not sure i made the right move

published

I also picked this fund due to the good rating. I feel the site is not up to date compared to other funds and i tried to make a switch on what i found was the last day for that 1 only per week option and the site crashed so i now have to miss getting my funds into the market for another week.
Sadly no response to my query as to why this could happen without any backup or possible fix since it was a system issue.
Lucky it's Easter and only an extra 3 market days i think.
Have to say, customer service is awesome. Super lovely staff.

Helpful Hesta.

published

I've been with Hesta for nine years now.
Any time I've had a query I've found that Hesta's staff have been very friendly and helpful and resolved my query.
I also found the same when they set up my Transition to Retirement fund.

Great Fund

published

I first joined HESTA in 1990. For a while I went to another fund because this one wasn't available with that employer. I came back as soon as I was able & have never had a problem with anything. All withdrawals have been received in the 5 day processing time including the recent lump sum request.
When the market settles I will be transferring the lump sum back to HESTA. Staff have always been polite & willing to help plus I earn far more in interest than I would ever get from a bank.

Cancelled lump sum withdrawal application

published

I applied for a lump sum withdrawal of my super over two weeks ago because I am eligible. Today I rang to find out what has happened to it. I was advised they cancelled it without informing me and without an explanation. I was unaware of this until I rang. My super balance has dropped significantly since I applied two weeks ago. They advised they would get back to me within 7 business days regarding this matter. Meanwhile they still have my money and I don't know why because they are not entitled to it.

Hesta Superannuation is the best.

I have always found the advice from Hesta to be useful and discerning as I moved through "transition to retire" to being retired and using some of my funds to provide a reasonable and reliable income. Thank you Hesta Advisors!

Hesta Supports Members

published

I have been a very satisfied member of Hesta Super since joining in 2002.

I have always found the staff at Hesta to be well informed and very willing to assist.

Recently I rang to make an enquiry. My call was answered promptly, and found the team member easy to communicate with.
He provided me with the information requested in a courteous and helpful manner.
He also emailed me additional information, related to my enquiry, which i will find useful in the future.

Can you tell me Hesta member number

Jessica D.

Jessica D.asked

It appears as though like many I have been left waiting after receiving both ATO confirmation and Hesta confirmation of release. My last communication with Hesta was via phone call on the 29th where I was told by your customer service representative that it was due for release on that day. Still nothing has been received and no change in transaction listing on my Hesta online account. Why have other funds been able to accommodate for the guidelines in processing times. At no point have I been told that there is a concern with verification or incorrect details? Why has it not been processed? When I asked if I could confirm my details I was told that this was not possible as you would only follow the details submitted during the application with MyGov those details are correct, why the delay?

I’ve posted above the details of a journalist from the Herald Suns email who emailed me back regarding HESTA withholding members money during this tragic time. I also put HESTA’s CEO’s email. Feel free to contact them and get some answers
