What is an ESA or Electronic Service Address?

To receive SuperStream data, your self-managed super fund (SMSF) needs an electronic service address (ESA).

An ESA is an alias that represents the uniform resource locator (URL) or internet protocol (IP) address of a messaging provider. It ensures you meet all technical requirements for interacting electronically across the super network. An email address is not an ESA. 

You can get an ESA from an SMSF messaging provider or through your SMSF intermediary such as SMSF administrator, tax agent, accountant or some banks. Many of these options are no cost or low cost.
