    Hi DorisO,

     

    Thank you for provding those details.

    Let me know how you go.

Thanks,

Hi DorisO,

 

Thanks for letting me know.

 

This format of membership number does seem strange for CFS as it usually starts with a 00 however, could you please confirm the Name, ABN and USI for the fund in question?
