There is $16 billion in lost and unclaimed super, and 23% of Australians have more than one super account, according to Australian Tax Office (ATO) data1.
If you have multiple super accounts, you could be paying multiple, unnecessary fees and charges. These fees whittle away your retirement savings.
In just a few minutes, we can help you find any other super in your name and combine it to your First Super account.
Let us do it for you!

We use an Australian Taxation Office (ATO) tool called SuperMatch. This tool has been built into our own system and our member portal, firstonline, to give you a smooth, easy way to search for other super accounts and then combine these funds in to your First Super account.
SuperMatch uses your TFN to search for other unclaimed super in your name. So we need your consent to use your TFN to:
You can withdraw your consent by updating your contact details in firstonline.
If your search finds an account that includes a defined benefit amount and/or has attached insurance, we strongly advise you to seek professional financial advice to help you weigh up the benefits of consolidation and to help you decide what to do with this account.
Defined benefit accounts are older style accounts and moving such amounts to your First Super account may not be in your best interests. Obtaining financial advice is particularly important in such instances. We won’t transfer in a defined benefit account unless you have specific advice from an adviser confirming that it’s suitable for you.
If you have insurance benefits, it’s worth knowing what insurance you have or can apply for with your First Super account. This may help you to make a decision regarding consolidating your super.
It’s your choice, but it’s worth knowing that although you don’t pay any fees on ATO-held amounts, you can’t choose an investment strategy, the only investment return you receive is interest paid at a level based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and you can’t get insurance. The current CPI rate can be found on the ABS website while our current investment returns are here.
If you consent for us to do so, any lost super held by the ATO will automatically be added to your First Super account.
