To purchase cryptocurrency in Australia has never been so easy. Depending on your knowledge of the crypto world of course, but even for beginners, we will help the process be less daunting so that even your Grandmother can quickly purchase some!

First and foremost you will need a wallet. We won’t go into wallets in this article so we can stick to the actual purchasing of cryptocurrency and focus our efforts on the process directly.

To purchase cryptocurrency in Australia you will need the following:

  1. A digital wallet capable of receiving the cryptocurrency you are choosing to invest in.
  2. Identification, for example, Australian Drivers License, Australian Passport If you cannot provide these we have an extensive list we can accept which is case by case but most exchanges will endeavor to assist you with any of these queries.
    If you are planning on purchasing larger quantities, for example, $10,000 per day limit, $25,000 cumulative, that is no problem at all but more documentation and control measures are in place. So you may be asked to provide proof of funds or proof of income for example. These rules are in place Australia wide to protect against fraud.
  3.  A phone capable of taking digital photos. The majority of Australian exchanges require a photo of yourself holding up your identification so that we can identify you as matching your documentation. Here at Easy Crypto, we have an automated process to check your identification which we will go into in this article.
  4. An Australian bank account with the funds necessary for the purchase
  5. An Email address
  6. You must be an Australian Citizen, Australian Resident or Permanent Resident

If you have not already make sure you start to research Blockchain technology and wrap your head around it. This is the true juggernaut of the technology as not only can it produce and sustain peer to peer, trustless digital currency, but also it can create smart automatically executable digital contracts known as ‘smart contracts‘. Do not forget to research smart contracts if you are planning on investing in this space as they are very much in their infancy.
