How do I create a crypto account?

Creating a crypto account generally follows these steps for most Australian cryptocurrency exchanges:

• Choose an exchange: Select a reputable Australian exchange like BTC Markets.
• Sign up: Visit the exchange’s website and click on the sign-up or register button.
• Provide information: Enter your email address, create a password, read and agree to the terms and conditions.
• Verify your identity: To comply with Australian regulations, you will need to complete Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) checks. This involves providing personal information and documents such as your driver’s license or passport, proof of address (like a utility bill), and sometimes a selfie for identity verification.
• Account activated: Once your identity is verified, your account is automatically activated.
• Secure your account: We recommend setting up two-factor authentication (2FA) for added security.
