Buying your first bitcoin may seem daunting, but it is quite simple once you get started.
Buying your first bitcoin may seem daunting, but it is quite simple once you get started.
Bitcoin.com.au is working with Australia Post to make buying bitcoin fast and secure. We’ve made this quick guide to walk you through the stairs.
Step 1 Head to bitcoin.com.au.
You can access bitcoin.com.au from any device, at any time. You will need to pay within 2 hours of placing an order, so check the opening times of your local Australian Mail.

Step 2 Choose how much you would like to buy.
You can buy anything from $ 50 to $ 50,000 worth of bitcoin or Ethereum by specifying either a dollar or a crypto value.

Step 3 Copy the address of your wallet.
Copy and paste your wallet address from inside the app. This lets us know where to send your coins. If you don’t have a wallet yet, we recommend an EDGE wallet for iPhone and Android. Here is more information about Wallets.

Step 4 Check your identity online.
This is a simple online process with Australia Post Digital ID. Checking your identity helps us comply with Australian government regulations. You only need to do this if this is your first time buying with Bitcoin Australia.

Step 5 Make the payment at your post office in Australia.
Make a secure payment at your nearest Australian post office with EFTPOS or cash. Please bring an identification with you, in case you are asked to confirm your identity. It should only take a few minutes to see your coins in your wallet. We will also send you an email confirmation, so you can track the transaction on the blockchain.
