Self Managed Super Fund does not have ESA. How do I set it up?

[DeannaK]

A new employee has a SMSF yet no ESA.

He has contacted his accountants who set up the SMSF and they don't seem to know about the ESA.

Is it possible to send money to the SMSF without an ESA?

How do SMSF's get ESA's ??

Hi @DeannaK 

Thanks for your post.  Usually the person who set up the self managed super fund (SMSF) can also set up the electronic service address (ESA).  It is necessary to have an ESA to send money to the SMSF.  The ATO's link on ESA is helpful in explaining how they can go about getting this.
