The banking royal commission is cultivating a superannuation switching culture that could have a major impact on super fund memberships in the coming year, new research reveals.

More than one in three Australians are more likely to review their superannuation fund in the next 12 months as a result of the royal commission.

Young Australians appear to be the most rattled of all, with 42 per cent of 18-24 year-olds wanting to switch funds – higher than any other age group.

This compared with 37 per cent of people aged 25-34 wanting to switch, 34 per cent of 35-44 year-olds, 38 per cent of 45-54 year-olds and 34 per cent of 55-64 year-olds. New superannuation player Zuper commissioned The Digital Edge to undertake the online survey of 1,514 Australians.
