What this means for you
As an AUSTRAC-registered digital currency exchange, Coinstash must meet Australia's anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF) obligations. In practice, this is why we:
Verify your identity before you can use certain features. See What are Account Verification Tiers?
Ask for recipient details when you send crypto, under the Travel Rule. See Understanding the Travel Rule.
Respond to lawful requests from government agencies. See Information Requests.
Registration with AUSTRAC is not an endorsement of any particular cryptocurrency, and crypto remains a speculative asset. Always consider the risks before you trade.
How to check our registration
AUSTRAC publishes a public register of digital currency exchange providers on its website. You can search it for our registration number, DCE100575420-001, or for TWMT Pty Ltd.
