According to a Westpac report, there is $18.1 billion in lost super sitting in Australia’s backyard and two in every five Australians don’t know whether they have a stake in it.
The nationwide report also found that 47 per cent of Australians are likely to have lost super, proving that many people are still not on top of this aspect of their finances.

“The Lost Super Day is a fantastic opportunity for brokers to speak to an expert from our partners at BT Financial Group around how they can easily identify lost super for their customers, either through the broker channel or our retail branch network.”
