Commencing your pension

Before starting your pension, we collect the money you'd like to use for your pension (rollovers or other contributions) in an ANZ Smart Choice Super account.

We'll use the information in this application to open your ANZ Smart Choice Super account, along with your ANZ Smart Choice Pension account.

As soon as your pension is up and running we'll close your super account - if you elect a full balance transfer. During this period you will only pay one set of fees.

My Super Edit

When you open a pension account a single transfer from your super account is made in to your new pension account. You cannot add to a pension once it has commenced.

Let's check that everything is organised in your ANZ Smart Choice Super before we move your funds to a pension account.

Please enter a valid 15 digit ANZ Smart Choice Super member number. This is a combination of your ANZ Smart Choice Super BSB and account number.

When you open a pension account a single transfer from your super account is made in to your new pension account. You cannot add to a pension once it has commenced.

Let's get everything organised before we move you to an ANZ Smart Choice Pension account.

Firstly we need to open an ANZ Smart Choice Super account for you.
Do you want to consolidate any other super funds?

When you open a pension account a single transfer from your super account is made in to your new pension account. You cannot add to a pension once it has commenced.

Transfer any other super accounts into your ANZ Smart Choice Super by logging into your ANZ Internet Banking, selecting your super account and following the prompts to consolidate.

We will contact you to assist with consolidating your other super accounts. Before you consolidate into ANZ Smart Choice Super, please consider whether there are any adverse consequences for you, including fees, other loss of benefits (e.g. insurance cover) and increase in investment risks.

Any other contributions to add?

Once we start an ANZ Smart Choice Pension for you, it's difficult to add to it. It requires the closure of your current pension and the commencement of a new pension account — so it's important to contribute all the money you want into your super account before we commence your new pension. Please contact Customer Service on 13 12 87 if you need assistance making a contribution.

Do you intend to claim a tax deduction on eligible contributions?

Subject to meeting the eligibility requirements, prescribed by the ATO, member voluntary contributions made with after tax money (take home pay), can be claimed as a tax deduction. You must notify us of your intention to claim these contributions as a tax deduction before you commence a pension.

We will help you to complete "Notice of intent to claim a tax deduction" form if you have eligible contributions and would like to lodge a claim. Please contact Customer Service on 13 12 87 if you need assistance making a contribution.

For personal contributions made to an existing account, please lodge a notice of intent or variation before transfer. After transfer, we may not acknowledge any further notices or variations, meaning tax may not be refunded. Note, the ATO will disallow a deduction on contributions made after age 67 if the work test or work test exemption is not met.

Insurance in your pension

Any Death insurance cover you hold in your ANZ Smart Choice Super account will be transferred to your pension account when you do a full balance transfer to your new pension account.

When you do a full balance transfer your ANZ Smart Choice Super account will be closed and any Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) or Income Protection cover in this account will cease.

If you do a partial balance transfer, any existing insurance cover will be retained in your ANZ Smart Choice Super account.

You can change your insurance cover anytime via ANZ Internet Banking or by calling 13 12 87.

Insurance in your super

Before starting your pension, we maintain money you'd like to use for your pension (rollovers or other contributions) in an ANZ Smart Choice Super account.

In your ANZ Smart Choice Super account you can add Lifestage Death cover*, with no paperwork or medical checks.

Death cover inside super can be a simple and tax-effective way to protect your loved ones if something were to happen to you.

If you add insurance cover, insurance fees will be deducted from your super account.

Let us know what you'd like to do:

Have you smoked tobacco or any other substance in the last 12 months, or used nicotine replacement treatment within the past 3 months?
Have you smoked tobacco or any other substance in the last 12 months, or used nicotine replacement treatment within the past 3 months?
Please make a selection

*Your Lifestage Death cover will automatically adjust with your age, is subject to eligibility and excludes Pre-Existing Medical Conditions, as explained in the Additional Information Guide. Insurance cover will not commence until we receive the first contribution into your account account and will only remain in place if you retain a sufficient balance to fund the cost of the insurance cover. Insurance cover is only available to Australian Residents or visa holders who reside in Australia. Once your account is open, you can remove your insurance cover or apply for Choose Your Own Death cover via ANZ Internet Banking or by calling 13 12 87.
