The first step to paying super in Easy Business App is to register with our clearing house partner, Beam. You can do this in a few simple steps from inside Easy Business App.
What is a Super Clearing House?
A superannuation clearing house is a service that lets you as an Employer make one super payment, even if your Employees belong to many different super funds. The clearing house then splits that payment and sends the correct amount to each employee's chosen fund, along with the required reporting information.

Frequently Asked Questions about Beam Registration
Q: What is a Default Super fund?
A: As an Employer, you need to have a default super fund. This is the super fund your business makes payment to when an employee doesn't tell you which super fund they want to use and where the ATO cannot provided you details of a 'stapled fund' for the employee.
Learn more in the ATO article 'Select your default super fund'.
Q: I have an employee who won't provide me with details of their super fund, what should I do?
A: If an employee doesn't provide you with details of their super fund, you must first request details of their 'stapled' fund from the ATO. A stapled fund is a superannuation fund that 'follows' an employee from job to job. You can request an employee's stapled super fund in your ATO portal.
Learn more in the ATO article 'Stapled super funds for employers'.
If an employee does not have a stapled fund, you must make a super contribution for that employee in to your default super fund.
It is not an option to just 'not pay super' for that employee. Even if the employee does not provide you with super fund details and the ATO also cannot provide any details of the employee's stapled fund, you must still pay super for the employee. This is the whole purpose of having a default employer super fund. It allows you remain compliant with the superannuation laws, even if your employee cannot provide their fund details.
Q: What if I need to edit my details with Beam, change my Direct Debit details or change my Default Super fund?
A: Click the Manage Super Setup button in the screen heading (note: on mobiles and smaller screens click the cog icon). You can then click the Go To Beam button.
Q: I'm seeing a message about "Accepting Terms and Conditions (Ts & Cs)" with Beam. How do I re-accept the Terms and Conditions?
A: Occasionally, there may be changes to the Terms and Conditions that govern your relationship with Beam. When this happens, you can click the Manage Super Setup button (see image above), then Go To Beam. Simply follow through all the steps to get to the final screen where you can read the new terms and click the checkbox to accept.
Q: How do I enrol employees in my default super fund?
A: If an employee has requested to be enrolled in your Default Super Fund on their superannuation choice form or they have not provided their fund details (and the ATO cannot provide details for their stapled fund), you can enrol them automatically through Easy Business App.
In their employee record (Payroll >> Employees), on the Super tab select the option Enrol employee in my default super fund. When you make their first super payment, we'll auto-enrol them (or ask you to choose which fund to enrol them in if you have more than one).
Q: Can I make payments to Self-Managed Super Funds (SMSF)?
A: Yes. Choose the Self-managed Super Fund (SMSF) option on the Super tab of the employee record and enter the necessary details. You'll need the Fund Name, Electronic Service Address (ESA), ABN and bank details.
Q: Can I keep using the Small Business Superannuation Clearing House (SBSCH) instead?
A: No. The SBSCH closed permanently on 1 July 2026. You will now need to use payroll software like Easy Business App in order to pay super for your employees. Learn more here.
