Media Super has merged with Cbus
Due to Media Super merging with Cbus, Media Super Pension accounts have closed and been moved to a Cbus Super Income Stream.
We appreciate change can bring uncertainty. Please be assured all practical pension product options were scrutinised for benefits and the need to act in the best financial interests of our members.
For members with an existing Media Super Pension account, your benefits have been transferred to a new Cbus Super Income Stream and will continue to provide you with a regular pension payment. You will also enjoy additional benefits, such as:
- Fortnightly payments in addition to monthly, quarterly, half-yearly and yearly options
- Additional flexibility on how payments are drawn down from investments
- Retirement Spending Planner and Cbus Advice Team.
- Named Money Magazine’s Best Pension Fund for 2022, you’re in great hands with Cbus.
