Log in to Member Direct

Your client will be invited to join the Member Direct online platform. It’s a separate portal where they can access their investment details and make transactions. They can log in to make transactions via the UBS share trading facility.

Give you access

Ask your client to complete the form Give access to your Member Direct account - link below. If they want to grant you access to transact on their behalf they will need to select ‘read and transact’. Then, email the completed form to adviserservices@australiansuper.com
