We’re making progress, simplifying and putting clients first
As part of our commitment to transform our business, we’ve consolidated our range of super and pension products and moved your current account to the top-rated1 CustomSuper®.
The great news is with your new account you have access to a range of online tools in My AMP to help you keep track and check in on your super as often as you’d like. And if you’re interested in your super investments, CustomSuper can cater to a range of investment preferences depending on how involved you want to be. This includes choosing from our more hands-off MySuper lifecycle option, as well as a range of multi-sector and single-sector investment options if you want more involvement.
We told you about the changes.
The changes were made on 15 May 2020.
We’re in the final stages of completing the sale of AMP Life to Resolution Life.
What you need to know
Your insurance cover remains safe
While AMP Life is preparing to transition to its new owner, Resolution Life, members can feel safe that AMP Life will continue to deliver on member promises and services. And, this won’t change under new ownership. Importantly, the type and amount of insurance cover under each member’s policy, as well as the insurance premium rates charged, will remain unchanged after the sale completes.
AMP Life will remain well capitalised and paying claims will always be a priority.
Learn more about the sale of AMP Life to Resolution life.
If your insurance is provided by a different insurer, there is no change to this.

Processing delays
As a result of the move, there may be delays of up to eight business days from the date of the move for processing transaction requests (such as contributions, withdrawals, premium payments, investment switches, insurance changes and account changes).
Any requests or changes to your account we receive during this period will be processed as soon as possible after the move.
My AMP
Our systems will take a while to refresh as we process the move. We expect all changes to flow through to your account on My AMP by Monday 1 June 2020.
Changes to adviser commissions
The government is ending certain types of adviser commissions from 1 January 2021. AMP is committed to removing these commissions from the date of the move and passing benefits back to members. Find out more about which products are changing and how this might affect you.

Frequently asked questions
Have my total fees and costs increased as a result of the move?
- For the majority of customers total fees and costs have not increased.
- For a very small number of customers total fees and costs have increased, or the timing of rebates have changed, as a result of the move.
- In the event your total fees and costs increase, or you are impacted by the timing of rebates, a one-off adjustment will be made to your account equivalent to 18 months of likely financial impact. This will give you time to consider whether the changes are right for you.
- This will be calculated at the date of the move and will be made within two months of the move, if the account remains open. You will be able to see this as an adjustment to your account. You will receive written notification if this amount is more than $20.
Has the balance of my account been affected by the move?
- As part of the move, we’ve ensured your account balance immediately after the move is the same as it was immediately beforehand. This has been done by covering any transaction costs and tax implications associated with the move.
If my insurance through super is with AMP Life have there been any changes?
- As a result of the move to CustomSuper the name of your insurance has changed, details of which can be found in your new insurance guide fact sheet available on amp.com.au/transform/cu.
- Despite the name change, the move hasn’t resulted in any change to the type of insurance cover you hold and, the amount of insurance cover (sum insured) you held at the time of the move.
- While insurance premium rates charged won’t change for the vast majority of members, for some members, there may be differences due to:
- small rounding differences in the total premiums charged, or
- changes in the timing of some administrative processes.
- These differences have been considered in the calculation of any one-off adjustment paid to members.
- There may have been some change to the terms and conditions of your insurance cover after the move, details of which can be found in your information guide, which is part of the significant event notice sent to you before the move.
How do I ensure my super contributions continue without interruption?
If we’re your employer’s super provider of choice, we have notified
- If we’re your employer’s super provider of choice, we have notified them of the changes and let them know what actions they need to take to make sure your super contributions continue without interruption. If you have any additional employers, who also contribute to your plan they’ll need to know its new details. We’ll send you pre-populated choice of fund form for you to provide to any additional employers.
- Alternatively, if your super plan is not your employer’s super provider of choice or you have previously asked your employer to pay contributions into your account, your employer will need to be its new details. We’ll send you a pre-populated choice of fund form, which will accompany the transaction confirmation which you should receive two to four weeks after the move, to give to your employer with the new details they’ll need.
- You can log into My AMP and email the pre-populated form directly to your employer.
What do the processing delays mean?
- As a result of the move, there may be delays of up to eight business days for processing transaction requests.
- Changes will flow through to My AMP with all updates being reflected by Monday 1 June 2020.
