GuildSuper values your loyalty and never wants you to leave and go to another fund. But if you do have to go, then you will need to complete a rollover request from the fund that you want to roll your account into. You may be able to do this online, or else by downloading one of their rollover forms. You will need to check this with the fund you're rolling in to.

If you are making personal contributions into GuildSuper, then make sure you complete the Notice of intent to claim or vary a deduction for personal super contributions (NAT 71121) form and send that to us before we process your rollover to the other fund or close your account. That way we will make sure your personal contributions are recorded as concessional contributions.

When an employer selects a new fund, in most circumstances they are required to provide you with a Choice of Superannuation Fund form.

To stay with GuildSuper you will need to complete this form, list GuildSuper as your choice of fund, and then hand it back to your employer.  If you don't complete and then return this form, your employer is entitled to pay your super into a fund of his or her choice.

To receive your annual statement electronically, simply call our Member Services Team on 1300 361 477 and provide us with your email address.
