Tpd insurance
If you have tpd insurance be careful as they are not worth the payments you make for them. Even if you have specialists letters to say you will never return to work they will not pay out. They make decisions before they get all the information.

No communication or urgancy
Constantly given different answers and date on when a pay out will be given, even told from 3 different people how it will be paid out. Tired of chasing it up, shouldnt have to at all. Very unprofessional and very unimpressed.

20 odd years... Super returns have been ok almost in keeping with other more competent Super managers. May I suggest that Sunsuper employ more staff so as customers claims can be processed in a reasonable time frame e.g 3 days not 12 days as I have been told is currently the case.

Sunsuper really is the best!
Maybe 24 years . They have done very well through the GFC and other downturns. I would recommend them to everyone and do. I am satisfied they are good investors on my behalf.

AIA Insurance are not there for members
Recently had a back injury which made me worry a bit about my future. Tried to update my salary with income insurance. They were rude and basically making out like i was dodgy. There insurance is there to try by all means to make sure that yr claim is unsuccessful. If u with them and need to make a claim get a lawyer or they will rip u off. Had super invested in there 3% guaranteed cash portfolio i lost money for 3 years. Also if u try to access yr super on compassionate grounds ie hardship they will refuse yr application .Joining another Industry super fund after october.AVOID SUNSUPER AT ALL COSTS

Best interactive customer base super company
My husband joined Sunsuper through his work and just recently I rolled my super into Sunsuper as well. Why? Excellent communication by phone, online and Sunsuper representatives hold seminars a couple of times a year which is the first company to do so in our experience. Living in Cairns we feel like we miss out a lot in the way of informative super seminars. They were non existent with our previous super funds. The big deal changer I guess is that our funds haven't looked better. Very happy to say I am glad I changed to Sunsuper.

Don’t join!
I was with KineticSuper which was merged to Sunsuper. From June to August, I had loss in my balance which happened the first time in the last 10 years. I am going to transfer my money out to a safer fund otherwise it will chew up all my little balance.

Sluggish with payments ...
I think it's time to leave this fund. They are so slow processing payments. To expedite my last request I sent it electronically so they took it upon themselves just to void it because it was the same amount as a previous request sent via ordinary mail. Yes really ... and I am waiting nearly a month for money I need for overseas travel. How can they void a valid request with absolutely no communication or authorisation from a client? Really really sloppy. There has to be better more efficient funds out there.
September 29th 2022 Update: Inef...Read more
ficient ... Again Inefficient ... Again Sunsuper have finally sent me an end of financial year statement .. nearly 3 months after end of 2018/2019 financial year. I've already submitted my return to ATO, now I have to ask my accountant to double check what's gone in and probably will have to pay a second fee. I consider this to be completely unacceptable and inefficient. All other institutions only take a maximum of 6 weeks. Nearly 3 months after end of f.year is ridiculous.3 comments

The second request was voided by sunsuper staff without any reference to me whatsoever. After waiting nearly a month I rang sunsuper and was informed this was the situation. I needed the second lot of funds for imminent overseas travel ... and still waiting. Honestly I'm looking at other funds because I'm sick and tired of thr tardiness of sunsuper when it comes to handing over money.SunsuperSunsuper

Worst service ever received
My wife has been trying to get her Super transferred to New Zealand for months. Sunsuper always seem to have an some very lame excuse of why actioned something. Finally got to the "pay-out" stage and they sent a cheque (not sure why they can't transfer it, but OK). One month later, and the cheque hasn't arrived. I have to wonder after all our dealings with them, did they even post it.

Disappointing - they take too long for lump sum withdrawals
I have reached preservation age and am finding that when I request a lump sum withdrawal, it is taking Sunsuper longer and longer to process and for me to receive my money. Right now I've been told that it SHOULD be paid to me by next week - Friday??? That would be 16 days after my request.
Suggestion to Sunsuper - you should not be withholding members funds because you don't have enough staff to process payments in the promised 7-10 days...perhaps employ more staff or improve processes!

Archaic Outdated Processes
I transferred my super from Sunsuper to a self managed super fund. The process they used is dreadful, I had to fill our forms and get certified ID and post to them as I would of expected. They say it takes 3 to 5 business days to process once they receive this information, my account was them closed and my Super is no longer earning any money, it then takes them a further 3 business days for a cheque to be created and a further 3 days for someone to post it so 6 days after account is closed they post the cheque and they will only post regular A...Read more
ust Post with no tracking, even when I offered to pay for tracking. The whole process was nerve wracking, Aust Post are unreliable at the best of times, no one new when the cheque was posted or could give me any idea if it was posted or not, when the expected time had passed and I had still not received it. I mean I get why after my account is closed they would want to hang on to my money for another few weeks but they really do need to update their archaic processes. They do of course happily take bank transfers when you send them money. Would not recommend them as the barriers to getting your own money are far to nerve wracking, and they simple can not provide any useful information of when or if your cheque has been posted, they told me they don't have a record of the day it is posted. There are many ways to improve the service7 comments

Hi Kalika and Calen, banking timeframes range from 3-5 days but some banks process faster. Thanks ^Pete
I dont know what bank you use Pete but I've never had to wait beyond 6pm for a payment that was paid by 3pm always hits at 6pm like magic even from other companies highlow markets etc the whole 3-5 day processing times are bank guidelines in severe cases most likely itd the 1-2 days max for smaller banks and credit unions the 3-5 days has been outdated for awhile now 2 yrs at least as all banks upgraded prior to the NPP( new payment platform) in saying all that it's again all to do bank and sunsuper and when it's sent but as the poster is anz bank i stick with my first awnser
