Binance Australia resumes bank transfers after two years

Binance has resumed fiat bank transfer services in Australia after a two-year suspension, Cointelegraph reported. Since mid-2023, Binance Australia users had only been able to deposit and withdraw funds using credit or debit cards. The resumption extends a pilot programme launched last year for some users. Binance said the move improves user experience and strengthens its compliance system. The exchange was cut off from Australia’s financial system in 2023 after Cuscal halted support.

The Senate Banking Committee has delayed a meeting, and the bill would need at least 60 votes to reach the floor.
