Binance Australia will require users to provide extra information when sending or receiving crypto from July 1, 2026.
The exchange said the change applies only to Australian users and supports compliance with local rules.
Binance said users will need to provide sender information when receiving crypto deposits into their accounts. The rule applies to any amount of crypto sent to Binance Australia.
The exchange will also require beneficiary information when users withdraw crypto from Binance. Binance described the new process as a “mandatory requirement” for Australian users.
Deposits and withdrawals face new checks
For withdrawals, users must provide the beneficiary’s full name, country of residence, and city, town, or locality. If users send assets to themselves on another exchange, Binance said they only need to provide the name of the receiving exchange.

For deposits, users must go to the crypto deposit page and click the pending transaction. Binance said the pop-up will ask for the sender’s full name, country of residence, unique identifier, and city, town, or locality.
Missing details may delay transactions
Binance warned that transfers may be delayed or not processed if users do not provide the required details. In some deposit cases, the exchange said it may return the crypto assets to the sender or originating exchange.
The platform also said users will need to log in again from July 1, 2026, when the changes begin. Users who do not make crypto transfers do not need to take any action.
Australia moves toward stricter crypto oversight
The update comes as Australia expands anti-money laundering rules for virtual asset services. AUSTRAC said separate Travel Rule obligations apply to transfers of value involving virtual assets.
AUSTRAC’s transitional guidance says some virtual asset obligations are deferred until July 1, 2026. It also tells firms to prepare for customer checks, reporting, transfer of value, and record-keeping duties that start from that date.
Related crypto.news coverage reported that Australia’s 2026 rules include mandatory Travel Rule compliance from July 1, 2026. Separate coverage also said Australia has been moving toward bank-style rules for crypto exchanges and custody providers.
The Binance update shows how those rules may affect daily users. Crypto deposits and withdrawals will still work, but users must be ready to provide names and location details before transfers clear.
