Automation Advantages
With PRNs, contribution data and payments flowing in real time between the payer and the superannuation fund, many manual processes such as data entry and reconciliation can be automated, reducing the risk of human error.
Enhanced data capability can improve experience for members by enabling real-time payment settlement and payouts, for example, and drive efficiency for participants by automating reconciliation and improving data quality.
Transparency and Safety Nets
The real-time data, validations, automations and status notifications of Zepto-powered super contributions can remove many opportunities for human error, but things can still go wrong. The true test of your payment partner’s mettle is its ability to respond and remediate. With Zepto’s stored value solution, for example, returned contributions can be promptly quarantined so they don’t get lost in an employer’s account.
The API Advantage
The Zepto API is your key to future-ready payroll and super.
Enjoy seamless integration and direct data exchange between the payer (employer/member) and super funds. Linking payment data to SuperStream data minimises entry errors and improves accuracy. Say goodbye to readily compromised spreadsheets and manual data uploads. That might have been OK in the 80s, but so was rewinding cassettes with a pencil.
