Crypto-related companies and figures have provided evidence about being de-banked by Australian financial institutions to a Senate inquiry. Crypto investment firm Aus Merchant, global remittance provider Nium and small peer-to-peer crypto brokerage platform Bitcoin Babe were speaking on a panel as part of the senate inquiry into “Australia as a Technology and Financial Centre” on Sept. 8. All three are registered with financial intelligence regulator AUSTRAC and are subject to reporting requirements, however they all echoed similar sentiments of being de-banked without a concrete explanation as to why.
