From May, if you registered your device using the ATO app and request to transfer or consolidate your super in ATO online services, you will need to verify the request in the ATO app before it's submitted.
This extra step is the latest ATO app security feature that helps to protect you from fraudulent activity and give you more control over important super transactions.
If you registered your device using the ATO app and are planning to transfer super, get ready by making sure you can access the ATO app on your registered device. To verify a request, follow the prompts in ATO online services and the ATO app.
If you receive an ATO app message about a transfer request you did not make, do not verify it. Lock your account using the ATO app immediately to protect against further unauthorised transactions.
This change will only apply to super transfer and consolidation requests made through ATO online services.
