Building industry super fund Cbus employers will soon have the opportunity to manage their super payments by phone with the Cbus Employer Mobile App.

The app, the first of its kind, have been developed by Cbus in partnership with its administrator The Link Group. The app allows businesses to make super contributions, add new employees, generate receipts and manage account administration, all from their mobile phone.

The app is designed primarily for small businesses (employing less than 20 staff) who make up 97 per cent of Cbus’ total employer base of 115,000 employers. Overall, around 95 per cent of employers now join the fund via an online channel, the super fund says.

That which highlights the potential for the employer app to deliver simple super solutions and potentially transform the way businesses interact with Cbus, the fund believes.

Jarrod Coysh, Executive Manager, Employer Experience said “Cbus is focused on providing superannuation product and service solutions for employers – the new app is a perfect example of this. Employers now have a simple and secure way to interact with Cbus whether they’re onsite, on the go, or on the couch.”

The app lets businesses add new employees by scanning their ID to automatically pre-fill and match their member details. Super contributions can then be made with the tap of a screen, PDF receipts can be easily created and business details can be updated anytime.

The app login is highly secure and only requires the use of a 4-digit pin or fingerprint technology once the account is verified.

Cbus’ employer app complements the member smartphone app that went live in 2014 and has received over 84,000 downloads. The employer app is now available on both Apple iPhone and Android devices, and is free to download for all existing or new Cbus employers.
