Putting members first

Benefits go to members. Our investment performance and operational efficiencies go towards member benefits rather than shareholder profits;

Competitive fees. Being member-based we strive to keep our fees low. GESB doesn't charge entry, exit, contribution, withdrawal or switching fees, and we don't pay commissions to agents;

Someone local to help. Our Member Service Centre is right here in WA, with dedicated, knowledgeable consultants able to answer any members' superannuation questions;

Quality member education. We have a wide range of free educational seminars to help members, and employers, learn more about investing;

Working with employers. Our Business Development team assist employers to meet their superannuation obligations, and we can arrange to tailor education seminars for each workplace;

First class and flexible retirement options. Because we know that one size doesn't fit all when it comes to retiring, we provide a range of flexible options for members so that they can stay with a member-based competitive fund;

Extra benefits for members. GESB provides members with extra benefits, such as access to discounted HSBC banking products and services and savings on travel insurance through AIG;
