Pay Day Super - Setting up Cashbook to pay Super using SuperStream
As of 1 July, 2026 Super payments must be done through a Clearing House. In Cashbook, the Superchoice portal that is currently used to submit STP is set up for Superstream, which is a clearing house for Superannuation payments.
If not already set up, you need to complete the bank details in SuperChoice, from which Super is to be paid.
Access your SuperChoice portal by clicking this link in Payroll / Single Touch Payroll.
Log in with your SuperChoice username and password. If you can not remember this, there is a reset password option that is linked to your registered email.

And go to the payment details page. Set it to Direct Debit and complete your bank details.
In Cashbook, in the Chart of Accounts, ensure the nominated bank has completed bank details, and tick it as the default SuperStream Account.
To pay super through Cashbook, go to the SuperStream tab in Payroll, adjust the payment frequency accordingly. Click the Add button at the bottom.
