We collect your TFN to facilitate your Spaceship Super membership and enable you to search for and consolidate other superannuation funds you may have, in compliance with the ATO SuperMatch Terms and Conditions.

10.1 We provide the option for you to use a third-party service provider (illion Australia Pty Ltd (illion)) to help you choose what account you'd like to make payments from and to, and to help us verify your bank account details.

We do this by asking you to provide your internet banking login details, which will be used by illion to establish a secure and automatic connection with your bank. illion will retrieve your bank account details (including the type, name, BSB, account number and balance). We'll present these details to you so that you can select the bank account from which you'll make payments and payments will be made to you.

Illion will then securely destroy your internet banking login details.
