KiwiSaver transfer process
How to transfer your KiwiSaver to First Super
First, join First Super online, which will take about 5 minutes.
When you join online, you’ll be given a member and account number. You will then need to:
- contact us and request a KiwiSaver Acceptance Letter (KSAL)
- provide us with your First Super member number
- give us details of your KiwiSaver fund (name and address).
Once we have this information, we can provide you with a KSAL, which you will need for the KiwiSaver transfer process.
The process of transferring your KiwiSaver over to First Super will differ depending on your KiwiSaver Fund.

KiwiSaver Trans-Tasman Portability forms
It’s important to note that your KiwiSaver fund may call this form something else, such as a Permanent Emigration Transfer Request form. Usually, the form requires you add some or all of the following information:
- Provider name: First Super
- Postal address: First Super, PO BOX 666, Carlton South, VIC 3053
- Email: mail@firstsuper.com.au
- Phone: 1300 360 988 / +613 8663 2110
- ABN: 56 286 625 181
- SPIN & USI: FIS0001AU
- Your First Super account number
- Your First Super member number
- First Super’s bank details can be found on the KSAL.
Remember to send all completed forms, supporting documentation and KSAL to your KiwiSaver fund. We recommend you contact them a day or two later to check that they have all the information they need in order to process the KiwiSaver transfer.
NOTE: Once you have transferred your KiwiSaver to an Australian KiwiSaver accepting fund such as First Super, your KiwiSaver funds cannot then be rolled out to an SMSF or to a non-KiwiSaver participating APRA super fund.
