How to Pay Employee Superannuation

Overview

Superannuation payments in Myaccountant are processed through Beam, which supports Direct Debit, BPAY, or Direct Credit payment methods. Once a super batch is validated and lodged, the system generates a unique Payment Reference Number (PRN) and provides tailored payment instructions. Direct Debit payments process automatically, while BPAY and Direct Credit require manual action.

Step-by-Step: Making a Super Payment in Myaccountant

Once you have created and lodged a super payment batch in Myaccountant (via Beam), the system will generate a unique Payment Reference Number (PRN) and provide instructions based on your selected payment method.

Depending on your choice, follow the steps below:

Option 1: Direct Debit (Automatic Payment)

  • After you submit the super batch, Beam will automatically debit the amount from your nominated bank account.
  • No manual action is required.
  • Make sure your bank details are up to date in your Beam setup to avoid failed transactions.

Best for automation and reducing admin work.

Option 2: BPAY® (Manual Payment)

  • Log in to your business banking portal.
  • Use the BPAY biller code and customer reference number provided after submitting the super batch in Myaccountant.
  • These details are unique per submission.
  • You must complete the BPAY payment on the same day you submit the contribution.

Delays in payment may result in missed super deadlines and compliance issues.

Option 3: EFT / Direct Credit (Manual Payment)

  • Log in to your bank and set up a payment using:
    • BSB and Account Number provided by Beam
    • Payment Reference Number (PRN) shown after submission
  • Complete the EFT on the same day you submit the super batch.

Failure to pay on the same day may delay super reaching the employee’s fund and impact your SG compliance.

Tips

  • Each contribution batch has unique payment details — do not reuse reference numbers.
  • If you're using BPAY or EFT for the first time, check your banking platform or contact your bank to confirm setup.
  • You can review past payment details in the Super Payments section under Payroll.
