MoonPay Expands to Australia with AUSTRAC Registration

MoonPay is excited to announce its registration with the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC), allowing it to offer digital currency exchange services in Australia.

This registration will enable MoonPay to establish local payment processing relationships across the country, facilitating the use of Australian payment methods such as Osko and PayID for its users.

With crypto asset adoption rising in Australia—where one in five adults have owned crypto assets and the first Bitcoin ETF was launched in June—MoonPay is set to support this growing market. As a registered company, MoonPay will comply with Australia’s AML/CTF Act, adhering to requirements for reporting, KYC, and record-keeping.

“MoonPay remains committed to making the exchange of crypto assets simple and compliant worldwide,” said co-founder and CEO Ivan Soto-Wright. “We’re excited to bring our services to Australian users and will continue working with regulatory bodies globally to drive innovation while ensuring compliance and consumer protection.”

To date, MoonPay holds registrations in the U.K., Ireland, Italy, Canada, and Australia, alongside 44 Money Transmitter Licenses across the U.S.

Note: MoonPay’s registration is not an endorsement or license by AUSTRAC.
