Check your Payday Super readiness

Payday Super is a big change to the super system, is your fund ready?

Published 17 June 2026

We’ve put together a checklist for super funds in preparation for 1 July.

Is your fund ready to:

  • meet the 3-day allocation and return requirement
  • receive payments via the New Payments Platform (NPP)
  • send contribution transaction error responses (CTER) messages when you reject a contribution
  • get your reporting right by ensuring member account attribute service (MAAS) and member account transaction service (MATS) data you report to us is accurate.

You also need to have plans to support SuperStream Contributions v3.0External Link as a core part of your processes after you have completed the testing process. This will mean responding to member verification requests (MVRs) within 24 hours.

After 1 July 2026, you will need to use the updated Fund Validation Service (FVS) to update your unique superannuation identifier (USI) details.

Act now to make sure your fund is ready when Payday Super starts on 1 July.
