Nambawan Super has retirement savings solutions for everyone. This includes Micro and SME owners with less than 15 employees, landowners, farmers or fishermen, non-PNG citizens, and those in the informal sector.

If you are self-employed, Choice Super by Nambawan Super makes it easy for those who aren't being paid super under Papua New Guinea's (PNG's) current laws to invest in yourself and start saving for your retirement.

With more than 220,000 Members, and close to K10 billion in Funds under Management, Nambawan Super is PNG's largest and most-trusted superannuation fund. When you save with Nambawan Super, your contribution is pooled with all our other Members' contributions and then used to invest in PNG businesses and properties and some of the world's biggest companies.

When you become a Choice Super Member, you must commit to making regular contributions to your superannuation savings. That's the way it works.

What happens to the contributions?

All the contributions received from Members are managed by Nambawan Super and invested by our investment experts. Interest is paid monthly and annually into Member accounts based on earnings from investments.

How much is the Member entitled to?

The net benefit a Member is entitled to is the total contributions plus interest, less tax on any interest earned. Contributions you made to your Choice Super account are not taxed on exit.

If I sign up, am I subject to the Superannuation Act?

Yes. When you sign up, access to the funds you save is subject to the same guidelines that apply to accessing compulsory super contributors under the Superannuation Act. As a Member, you are encouraged to contribute regularly to build your savings for a comfortable retirement.

When can a Member withdraw their savings?

Any withdrawals are guided by the Superannuation Act 2002, as your Choice Super Account is not like a regular bank account. The Act states that Members are entitled to withdraw their savings on grounds of unemployment, retirement, permanent disability, death or permanent emigration.
