What is Fund Validation Service (FVS)?

Introduction

The Fund Validation Service (FVS) is an Australian Taxation Office (ATO) service that maintains up-to-date information about APRA-regulated superannuation funds, including their eligibility to participate in specific superannuation transactions and services.

The FVS data is maintained by superannuation funds and held by the ATO. We have integrated with Ozedi to access this information and support accurate APRA-regulated superannuation fund validation. This helps ensure that Member Verification Requests (MVRs) and Member Registration Requests (MRRs) are sent only to superannuation funds that are certified and authorised to receive them.

By validating fund details against the latest FVS data, the system can identify eligible funds for MVR and MRR processing and prevent requests from being sent to uncertified funds. Sending an MVR and MRR to a fund that is not certified to receive MVRs may result in Ozedi upload validation errors and delays in processing superannuation contributions.

The FVS provides a trusted source of current superannuation fund information, helping ensure that SuperStream transactions are processed using accurate and up-to-date fund details.

What are the Key Benefits of Fund Validation Service?

Using the latest FVS information helps:

  • Ensure that Member Verification Requests (MVRs) and Member Registration Requests (MRRs) are sent only to eligible and certified APRA-regulated superannuation funds.
  • Improve the accuracy, reliability, and integrity of superannuation fund validation by using the latest fund certification and eligibility information.
  • Reduce processing issues and MVR and MRR submission failures caused by outdated or uncertified fund details.
  • Minimise Ozedi upload validation errors and help avoid delays in superannuation contribution processing.
  • Support more accurate and reliable processing of superannuation contributions.
  • Support compliance with ATO requirements effective from 1 July 2026.

When will FVS be Available and Mandatory?

The new FVS format will be available for production use from 1 July 2026.

How does the System use FVS information?

The system automatically fetches and maintains current FVS data daily using the latest information available from the Fund Validation Service (FVS). 

FVS certification information is used to determine whether an APRA-regulated superannuation fund is eligible to receive Member Verification Requests (MVRs) and Member Registration Requests (MRRs). This helps prevent requests from being sent to uncertified funds,  reducing validation errors and improving overall processing reliability. 

Member Verification Request (MVR)

When the MVR flag is enabled and Payday Super is effective based on the SuperReady Effective Date,  the system will automatically initiate MVR only when all the following conditions are met:

  • The selected super fund is an APRA-regulated fund.
  • The fund's FVS certification value is CONT3.0-X.
  • The MVR request date falls within the fund's validity period in FVS.

Member Registration Request (MRR)

When the MRR flag is enabled and Payday Super is effective based on the SuperReady Effective Date, the system will automatically initiate MRR only when all the following conditions are met:

  • The selected fund is the default super fund.
  • The fund's FVS certification value is CONT3.0-X or CONT1.0-X.
  • The MRR request date falls within the fund's validity period in FVS.
