3. Optional: combine all your super^{^}

Hate paying extra fees? Like seeing a bigger balance? Bring super sitting in other funds over into your HESTA account so it's all together. You might need these ABN and USI details.

How to combine super

^ When you combine your super into one account, your entitlements with your other fund/s may stop.
You should consider reviewing any other benefits, such as insurance cover that you have through your other funds. Think about getting financial advice to help you compare the benefits and costs of funds, and what impact combining your super will have on your super balance.
