The team at Binance furthered their service to the land down under, with the launch of Binance Lite Australia.

Binance and Australia

Currently, the service will only offer users the opportunity to buy bitcoin but is pegged to offer a much wide variety of cryptocurrencies over time.

Binance hope that the launch of Binance Lite Australia will further help Australians get more involved in cryptocurrencies by providing an easier and safer way of doing so.

The way it works is that users will make an order online, then travel to the newsagent to deposit cash. They will then credit the currency within just a couple of minutes.

Although this is their first fiat-crypto venture in Australia, they have an existing presence in the 6th largest country in the world.

In 2018, they invested in a $2.5 million USD in the Bitcoin travel company, TravelbyBit, who allow you to make travels plans with cryptocurrency transactions via BTC and Binance’s own, BNB.

Speaking about the launch, Binance’s CFO, Wei Zhou stated, “Australia has been at the forefront of blockchain innovation, and we hope Binance Lite Australia can play a role to help further this cause,”
