MYOB and Flare’s first product partnership brings superannuation selection capability to MYOB Team customers

The first collaboration between business management platform MYOB and Sydney-based workplace fintech startup Flare, provides employees across Australia with full digital onboarding, including the ability to make an informed choice of super fund.

This development will see MYOB Team move from a timesheet app, to a complete employee management solution through the inclusion of employee payroll onboarding and superannuation selector functionality. The super onboarding and super fund selection makes MYOB Team the only integrated offering with this functionality on the market.

MYOB Team now empowers employees to submit or update their superannuation, tax and bank details, reducing administration for both employers and employees and eliminating the paper trail in favour of a mobile app.

The super fund selection functionality allows employees to port in a pre-existing superannuation account from any fund, or the option to select a new one with ease.

Andrew Baines, General Manager Financial Services for MYOB, said the MYOB Team updates help employers act upon the proposed Your Future, Your Super Federal Government legislative reforms in a streamlined, efficient way.

“These new onboarding features give employees control of their own super with minimal effort to the employer. Employees can use the app to update their details at any time, which means gone are the days where multiple unintended super funds are created. People can have full command of their superannuation fund.”

Ben Styles, VP Financial Services for Flare, said the MYOB Team partnership would be the first of many from the two leading business platforms, following MYOB’s investment in the startup last November.

“The combined functionality of MYOB and Flare will help businesses ensure their employees have a seamless experience throughout their employment,” Styles said.

“A transparent, informed choice of fund leads to better retirement outcomes for all employees. We’re delighted to be able to provide this vital service to Australians in small businesses across the country through our partnership with MYOB.”

MYOB Team’s new employee onboarding and choice-of-fund features are available now and are compatible with MYOB Essentials and MYOB AccountRight platforms. Information input into the MYOB Team app automatically integrates with MYOB accounting software.
