If you have worked on multiple jobs, there is a possibility that you have numerous super accounts, especially if you’ve been contented to go along with the default fund of your employer.
And if you haven’t checked on your super for a while, chances are you have lost or unclaimed super sitting somewhere, waiting for you to find them.
As stated by the latest figures from the ATO (Australian Taxation Office), almost $18 billion worth of lost Superannuation is waiting to be claimed. This was comprised just over 6.3 million lost as well as ATO-held accounts. A bit of this money could be yours.
You could be sitting on a retirement nest egg and not even know it. You wouldn’t want to leave your lost super money unclaimed, would you? In fact, there’s no better time to find your lost super than now.
Australians have recently tracked down $860 million of lost super within just three months. You should join in the hunt!
Doing so you would benefit you. For one, it’s additional money for your nest egg. Second, you can consolidate your super accounts into one fund once you find them and save more on fees and tax.
