Frequently asked questions

  • What is a Superannuation Savings Account?

    The Superannuation Savings Account is a simple, capital guaranteed, low cost super account.

    The money you put into your Superannuation Savings Account is capital guaranteed by the Commonwealth Bank, which means it is safe from market fluctuations. As a complying Superannuation product (under current Government legislation), a condition of release must be met before withdrawals from the account can be processed.

    For information on conditions of release, see the ATO website.

  • What are the rates, returns and fees for a Superannuation Savings Account?

    Current information is available under the “Rates and Fees” section on the SSA homepage online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

    Further details on your policy can be obtained by calling 133 731 between 9:00am and 5:00pm (AEST/AEDT), Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays.

  • What is the difference between the Standard Rate and a Fixed Term option for the Superannuation Savings Account?

    The Standard Rate option means you have a variable interest rate which can go up or down from time to time.

    The Fixed Term option works like a fixed interest rate on a term deposit where you can lock in the offered interest rate for a fixed period of time.

    For more information about these options please refer to the SSA Tax and other information brochure.
