Rollover of Super to SMSF
Rolling over your super benefits to your SMSF requires the use of the ESA . The roll in can be initiated immediately upon the completion of all necessary SMSF setup documents, and once the SMSF’s ABN status is confirmed as “complying” or ” registered” on the Super Fund Lookup website.
The following steps should be followed to facilitate a smooth rollover process.
1.Verification of SMSF Details by Your Current Retail or Industry Super Fund
The following information is compulsory for the rollover:
- ESA: We will handle the ESA application for your SMSF if you are an iCare Super client who has signed the direct debit form for our monthly fees.
- SMSF ABN: We will manage the ABN application for your SMSF.
- Bank account: we can open the bank for your SMSF or you can open it by yourself with any banks.
All this information, including ESA and bank account details, needs to be updated with the ATO as well, ensuring that the ATO’s records are kept up-to-date. Otherwise, the rollover cannot be requested successfully.
2. Information to Include in Your Rollover Form for SMSF:
SMSF name: it is the name of your SMSF, you do not need to include the trustee name.
ABN: ABN can be found in the email sent to you in the setup documents package
ESA: BGLSF360
Bank Account details: the bank account name should match your SMSF name.
Unique Superannuation identifier (USI): Please write N/A (not applicable).
3. Information to Include in the ESA for Transferring Fund Details:

4. Rollover Transaction Details
In this section, you can choose to transfer the entire balance or a specific requested amount.
A partial rollover can be considered if you wish to retain your insurance policies before transferring them to your SMSF.
5. Submission of ID Documents to Your Super Fund
