About SuperAPI

SuperAPI is a Melbourne based RegTech company that sits between Australian employers, their payroll and HR software, the ATO, and superannuation funds. Every time someone starts a new job, we handle the onboarding from end to end, capturing and validating employee details,and managing the choice of superfund, all compliantly and automatically. This matters more than ever now that Payday Super requires contributions within days of payday, which turns getting onboarding wrong into a real compliance risk on every hire. 

We reach employers through our platform which is embedded inside many of Australia's leading payroll and workforce management platforms, through our own product Xonboard (a simple and secure onboarding solution and a certified five star app in the Xero App Store), and increasingly through enterprise systems like Workday and SAP SuccessFactors.On the other side, we partner with many of Australia's largest super funds, which gives us some of the broadest fund coverage in the market. We're proudly independent, which is what lets funds and software partners trust us to operate neutrally across the whole market. We're growing fast with a lot still to build.
