AUSTRAC Registered · Sydney Based
BitWave Exchange offers a secure, regulated platform for buying, selling and trading 200+ cryptocurrencies. Fast settlement, competitive spreads, and dedicated local support from our Sydney office.
BitWave Exchange Pty Ltd is registered with AUSTRAC (Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre) under registration number ACN 678 432 109. We operate in full compliance with the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (AML/CTF). All customer funds are held in segregated trust accounts with major Australian banks. Our platform undergoes regular independent security audits and maintains a comprehensive risk management framework. Cryptocurrency trading carries significant risk. Past performance does not guarantee future results. You should consider your financial situation and risk tolerance before trading.
We understand the unique challenges of crypto trading in Australia — from regulatory clarity to fast AUD settlements.
Waiting days for AUD deposits and withdrawals? Our partnership with local banks enables instant Osko payments — deposits clear in under 60 seconds, withdrawals within 2 hours during business hours.
Many offshore exchanges operate in a grey area. BitWave is fully AUSTRAC registered and complies with Australian tax reporting (ATO) requirements. You get clear transaction histories and automated tax reports.
Our Sydney-based support team answers calls and emails during Australian business hours (9am–6pm AEST). Average response time under 15 minutes. No chatbots, no offshore call centres.
We publish our fee schedule transparently: 0.1% maker fee, 0.2% taker fee. No deposit fees for AUD via bank transfer. Spreads start from 0.05% on major pairs. What you see is what you pay.
We built BitWave with transparency, security and local support at its core. Here is what our community says.
"I switched from Binance after they restricted Australian users. BitWave's local support is incredible — I had a verification issue resolved in 10 minutes. The AUD deposits via Osko are instant."
"As a day trader, low fees and reliable uptime are non-negotiable. BitWave delivers both. The API is rock solid and the spreads on BTC/ETH are the tightest I have seen in Australia."
"I was nervous about crypto regulation changes. BitWave's compliance team walked me through everything — AUSTRAC registration, tax reporting, the works. Finally a platform that takes Australian law seriously."
