Hi Alysha, In my case, the industry fund wouldn't even use the ATO's system for verification, despite the fact that it was already listed as "complying". Go figure. -- MJ.

Manoj - Nice little bit of advertising down there. I recommend to everyone that you buy your SMSF through an SMSF savvy accountant, rather than an off-the-shelf product that may not have all the correct clauses that the banks need in the deed.

Hi Manoj, You can write all the letters in the world and it won't matter. They want *documentary proof* that the SMSF is complying (ie, smsf paperwork - all of it), as well as proof of identification, as well as everything you've mentioned here. :) -- MJ.

They don't do EFT. Talk about stone age. One cheque went to my accountant in Melbourne. The other cheque went to our home address. I guess it depends on the lackey who's sitting behind the desk. :confused:

I just rang the super fund - they need *either* one of: * An ATO 'letter of compliance' for the fund you want to transfer to * An ATO trustee letter Their letter didn't state this. The ATO trustee letter is just the ABN paperwork from the tax office. I think these guys are just inventing...

Thanks Bill and Rob! The Australian Business Register page I have here states: ABN Status: Registered Type of Entity: Regulated Self Managed Super Fund So... that has to be the letter saying that it's registered. I could print the output from the ABR website off and send it as that says it's...

Hi all! I have a complying SMSF set up - now I just need to get my wife's and my super money into the fund from our respective "employer funds" so we can start investing. I sent off the paperwork a week ago and received a letter from my old super fund today, stating: Searching the ATO website...
