Can't authorise super payments as phone number is different for super settings and MYOB account settings.

Hi, I'm having trouble authorising super payments now that I have been set up as an authoriser because the phone number shown in the superannuation settings section is different to my phone number on...

    I changed my number to +61 - and unfortunately that didn't work, just another email saying there'd been a change.

    So in a bout of frustration on the following work day I changed my number back and forth from +61 to 04 a few times and eventually I got the email I desperately needed (below) and this issue is now resolved. Somehow. (The format I ended up with was +61 in the end, but I can't say that made the difference but I'm glad it's over). Maybe it got scared of how hard I was hitting the keyboard by the end of it, and so did what I wanted?!

    Verify your mobile number to start authorising super payments



    You’ve been confirmed as an MYOB Pay Super authoriser or administrator for xxx. This means you can authorise superannuation payments made in your MYOB software. Pay Super administrators can also make changes to Pay Super settings, such as user roles and superannuation limits.

    But before you can authorise payments or make changes, you need to provide us with your mobile phone number and help us verify that it’s really yours.

    You can do this here (after you’ve logged in using your MYOB account details):

Hi Daer,

 

Thanks for sharing the screenshot, and sorry for the delay getting back to you.

 

You’re already in the right spot, and there isn’t another section where you’d be able to update those contact details. Because this is a phone number change, the best option at the moment is to have your Pay Super administrator update it for you through the Pay Super settings. I understand they’re away right now, but this is still likely to be the quickest way to get everything updated.

 

Cheers,

Princess

    Thanks for that!  Finally did that and got this message what I try to authorise super:


    "You need to verify your mobile number before you can authorise payments. Please check the email we sent you for information on how to do this."

     

    The email (only received the one from MYOB today) reads:

    Pay Super details have been updated

    Hi xxx,

    We’ve processed a request made by xxx to update the Pay Super details for your business: xxx. These changes will apply to all future super payments. You’ll receive email updates for the following changes:

    • Business details
    • Bank details
    • Payment limits
    • Pay Super users added, removed, or a user’s mobile number changed
    • Number of authorisations required to make a payment

    To review your details, go to Payroll settings, then Superannuation payments.

    If you have any questions about this email, get in touch with our security team.

    Regards,

    The MYOB Team

    ~~~

    There is no other email or message.  I logged in to the Payroll settings again, checked the new number was in there and I am listed as a Pay Super Administrator, and hit save but this hasn't changed anything.

     

    I'm sorry, what am I still missing?

      Hi Daer,

       

      Thanks for checking that and making sure your number’s been added. If you’re still not getting the SMS code to authorise super payments, it’s worth checking a couple of things first:

      • Make sure the time and date settings on your phone are set to automatic
      • Double-check that your mobile number is entered in the right format, including the country code
      • If your number is saved starting with 0 and it’s still not working, try changing it to +61 instead

      Hopefully that does the trick. If it’s still not working after that, please reach out to our team by phone or through our virtual assistant, MOCA, which can connect you with our live chat team.

       

      Cheers,

      Princess
