What is AUSTRAC?

AUSTRAC is Australia's national body for tracking and reporting suspicious financial activity. Providers offering services that involve digital assets register with it and are issued an identifier, which you can match against the public register before sending funds. The identifiers in these listings differ in shape rather than in kind: CoinZoom's reads DCE100590284-002, Digital Surge's reads 100576214, Independent Reserve's reads DCE-100461150-001 and kraken's reads ACN 163 237 634. Bitget also names AUSTRAC among its regulators.
