Can I add more money to my Income Stream after I’ve started it?

Further funds can be transferred in from other super (or income stream) accounts or extra savings added (terms and conditions apply) by payments made into a Super SA scheme, such as the Flexible Rollover Product - before consolidating and recommencing a new Income Stream account.
If you’re not sure what to do, please get in touch with one of our financial advisers. They would be happy to talk.

Can I have multiple Income Streams?
Yes, the minimum opening balance for a Super SA Income Stream is $30,000. If you would like to open a second Super SA Income Stream account at the same time, the minimum opening balance requirement is $10,000.
If you’re considering multiple income streams, we highly recommend speaking to a financial adviser. Feel free to get in touch with one of our financial advisers today.
