Being well informed and treated with respect.
I have been with Hesta for many years - think maybe 20 years.
I have always found HESTA very accessible, sensible, and respectful. They are very clear that they don't give advice but do give me clear information.

Telephone discussion about my queries on reducing my TAP fortnightly income.
I have been with Hesta for two years having been with Iris since I retired in 2007.
I am getting used to finding relevant information on line and I have made several phone calls for assistance, and the forthcoming information has been valuable and most appreciated.

Good personal service
Even with large amount of 'traffic' I have found staff to be helpful and polite. I would like to also comment though that the site is the slowest site that I navigate. Several glitches occur on a regular basis when accessing Hesta member online. Apart from that all is very good.
thanks

Excellent service
"HESTA looks after its members well and its employees are friendly and competent. Members of HESTA are also well informed about the processes they go through at all times." As an older person who have worked for more than 4 years, I need processes that are user friendly and simple to follow. I couldn't be happier with HESTA.

Ethical investments and great return
Member for 4 years in the EcoPool option which focuses on sustainable investment. Returns are consistently strong and the focus on support services for health and community sector workers is a very good use of expertise.

Long and complicated refund process. extremely slow, no communication on their side. 3 months and counting for 96$!!!!
My former employer reopened an account for me at hesta without me knowing it ( hesta was my superannuation fund that I closed a few years back) for paying a due after a review. 120$ was paid and hesta started taking fees on it straight away. I contacted them to freeze and cancel my account and ask for a refund of the fees.. after many calls and contradictory information that made me loose more time I put a formal complaint, that granted me a 96$ refund . On my online account my balance is weirdly still going down to 80$ for an unexplained reas...Read more
on ( maybe a bug According to the agent??)I sent all the paperwork by mail as requested for a refund over a month ago sent an unanswered e mail for follow up, waited on the phone for a larger part of 30 minutes for the agent to check my file, and another time no straight answer. They are still in the 90 days delay accorded by a law so why please a soon to be former customer. I don’t understand the delay that seems to be a good reason for them to take a little bit more of my money.. i guess they are good when your money goes in but from my experience they do everything to temporise when they have to pay. I definitely do not recommend them. Big company with slow process and an extensive treatment time with poor transparency for customers.. that is what I will remember them for.1 comment

Not sure i made the right move
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.

Marita T.asked
Hesta's member profile does not allow visibility of the number of units a member has. While a member's account estimate could change based on the markets, the number of units do not fluctuate and is critical information to a member. I find it very concerning as to why Hesta is hiding this information from its members. Since this came to my attention last month, I have raised my concerns with Hesta and have received no valid explanation to date. If other super funds are open and transparent, why not you Hesta? How do I trust that you are doing the right thing?
