Situation

The Protect Your Super legislation changed the rules for inactive and low-balance accounts and for insurance held inside them. Funds had to reach members who had not engaged with them for a long time, and risked losing them in the process.

Decision

Back

Back a customer-centric process built around what members needed to decide, rather than what the fund needed to say.

  • Developed and designed the fund’s response to the Protect Your Super legislation
  • Created a customer-centric process for member retention
  • Built and delivered a customer-centric digital strategy alongside it
