@Heide DC I think you may have misinterpreted my question slightly. The client is simply looking for a superannuation solution to deal with Australian employees and hence comply with Super regulations, the client's finance team (i.e the people who will need to operate the system and make the payments) are based in head office in NZ. There is an Australian bank account so no FX issues to speak of. 

My question is simply - are there any features of how QBO or Beam operates that would prevent someone overseas from being able to make super automated payments for Australian employees? (such as the example in my original post where MYOB & Xero need SMS authentication that wont accept an NZ phone number). I can't see anything obvious in the instructions however I though best to clarify before proceeding.
