Ahead of the ATO's Small Business Superannuation Clearing House closing on 1 July 2026, as part of the Payday Super reforms, it will close to new users on 1 October 2025. Existing users will continue to have access to the service until 30 June 2026, but are encouraged to take steps now to transition to alternative options, including those listed on the SuperStream Product register. Learn more about this change on the ATO's website. 

The ATO has updated its website to provide employers with information on Ordinary Time Earnings (OTE).

DSPANZ members have had the opportunity to provide ATO with feedback on the refreshed guidance. Check out the updated information on the ATO's website. 

This September, we're bringing our members a series of Hour of Power sessions with the major banks.

Zepto. 

What do you do?
Zepto creates real-time, account-to-account (A2A) payment solutions for large enterprises. Rather than waiting days for a transaction to clear, Zepto-powered payments can move, settle, and reconcile in seconds 24-7-365. These are payments that move in real time, all the time. 

Zepto's API opens up a unique set of access points to Australia's A2A payments infrastructure to enable these payments: the BECS Direct Entry system, and the modern real-time infrastructure of the New Payments Platform (NPP). 

Through a single API integration, businesses unlock a toolkit of solutions from which they can assemble the perfect payment flows for their business using nothing more than bank accounts. Via Zepto's simple-to-use API, businesses can confidently make, take and manage data-rich payments directly from their customers' bank accounts, and have them settle and reconcile instantly 24-7-365.

Zepto recently partnered with digital delivery firm OZEDI to devise Australia's first instant super fund payments solution. This groundbreaking partnership allows Australian businesses to instantly and securely pay contributions to super funds nationally via the NPP with a new PayTo-powered SuperStream service. 

Where are you located?
We are a remote-first organisation with employees across Australia. Our headquarters are in Byron Bay, where we were founded, and we also have offices in Sydney and Melbourne.
