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.

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.

  • 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.

We’re here to help. So let’s talk.
