Mercer has picked up another superannuation mandate, having been appointed to provide administration and member services to the ANZ Australian Staff Superannuation Scheme.
The new mandate was announced this week, with ANZ scheduled to transfer the administration arrangements, including insured benefits for death, total and permanent disability and salary continuance, from early next year.
