SuperStream - Fund USI and SPIN lookup table

The ATO publishes information about super funds to assist employers access information required to send contributions using SuperStream.

This information includes unique superannuation identifiers (USI) which uniquely identifies an APRA fund and/or its superannuation products which an employee (member) contributes to.

You can obtain fund USI details from your service provider, the superannuation fund or via Super Fund Lookup.

The USI has replaced the superannuation product identification number (SPIN) which was previously used by some funds as a product identifier.

If you currently make employer contributions to funds using a SPIN you will need to obtain the USI this SPIN corresponds to.

You can find all USIs that correspond to SPINs by using the Fund USI and SPIN lookup table.
