Is Binance available in Australia?

Yes. Australia isn't on Binance's prohibited list, but Australian accounts are run by Binance Australia, so the deposit options and products you see differ from the global site. In Binance's AUD P2P ads on the day we checked, PayID appeared in 43 ads and Osko in 36.

Which exchanges accept Australian residents?

Depositing AUD by PayID on OKX

  1. Verify your account (OKX identity verification). Your OKX name has to match the name on your bank account.
  2. In the app: Transfer → Deposit → Australian Dollar → PayID/Bank transfer → Next.
  3. Copy your PayID (an email-style address that stays the same for every deposit), or the BSB and account number.
  4. Pay from your banking app. It will show an OKX Australia entity name; that's expected.
  5. Back in OKX, tap I've sent a transfer. Most deposits land instantly; a first or large deposit can be held by your bank.

OKX rejects third-party payments, and PayID is for deposits only: AUD withdrawals go to your saved bank account.

Prices are the median of the first 20 ads; minimums are the median across all ads.

On Binance the buy/sell gap was about 11 cents per USDT, which is a lot next to the bigger markets. If you're buying to send money home, compare the P2P price with what you'd pay after a PayID deposit before you pick. Sellers on OKX listed Westpac, ANZ and CommBank among their banks.

Sending money to family from Australia

Buy USDT here, send it to your family's account, and they sell it for local currency on P2P (USDT networks, how to send USDT):

Watch out

  • Pay from a bank account in your own name, give Australia as your country of residence, and don't use a VPN.
  • Some ads offer Cash Deposit to Bank. A cash deposit is hard to prove if there's a dispute. More: common P2P scams.
