Step 1. Sign up for Pay Super
AddAdd
  1. Open the company file that you want to sign up for Pay Super.

  2. Go to the Payroll command centre and click Pay Superannuation.

    Pay super sign up button

  3. Click Sign up. An internet browser window will launch.

  4. Sign on with your MYOB account details (email address and password).

  5. Check your business details.

  6. Enter your bank account details and payment limit.

    • Enter the details of the bank account from which super payments will be made. Double-check the BSB and bank account numbers. After signing up, you’ll need to verify the account.

    • Set a payment limit. This is for your security. Enter the maximum amount that you allow to be deducted from your account in any month, or over a quarter.

      For example, if you choose a $5,000 monthly limit, you can make as many payments as you like during the month, but the total of those payments can't be more than $5,000.

      Or, for more flexibility you can choose to set the limit for a quarter, and once you reach that limit in the quarter you won’t be able to make any further payments until the beginning of the next quarter.

      If you'll be hiring more employees, you might want to overstate your monthly or quarterly limits to allow for a little growth.

  7. Choose a super payment role for each of your company file users. Note that you'll only see users listed who have already accepted an invitation to work on your file. The user role determines what they can and can't do with super payments – that explains super user permissions.

    Waiting for an SMS?

    If you set yourself as an authoriser or Pay Super Administrator while signing up, you'll be sent a verification code by SMS and prompted to enter it onscreen. It may take up to twenty minutes to receive the SMS, so make sure you give it enough time. Also, make sure you're checking the right mobile—the number will be listed on screen. Still haven't got the SMS after twenty minutes? Contact us.



  8. Review the signup details you entered.

  9. Submit the application
    Any authorisers or Pay Super Administrators you’ve nominated will then receive an email to confirm their mobile number.

Users with this role can authorise direct debits from your business bank account—keep this in mind when assigning them.

For each payment they'll need to sign into AccountRight with their MYOB account details (email address and password) and enter the authorisation code MYOB sends them by SMS.

Step 2. Verify your bank account
AddAdd

After signing up, MYOB will make a 1 cent deposit into your bank account. It could take two or three days to appear on your bank statement.

Check your bank statement (or online banking portal) and find the 1 cent deposit from MYOB. In the transaction details there will be a 6-digit code. You'll need this later, so make sure you write it down.

Click Pay Superannuation in AccountRight, and when prompted, enter the code you wrote down earlier. And presto! Your bank account's verified.



Step 3. Finish setting up AccountRight
AddAdd

There's just one last thing to do to make sure you're ready to start making super payments from AccountRight: check that you've entered all the required details for your super funds and employees.

After this, you're ready to start using Pay Super.
