Make a lump sum withdrawal
Sometimes you need access to a little more. With a HESTA Retirement Income Stream, you can make a lump sum withdrawal on top of your regular payments — whether it's for an unexpected expense, a big purchase, or something you've been planning. Please note: lump sum withdrawals aren't available for HESTA Transition to Retirement (TTR) accounts.
