Assumptions used in this decision

  • •Funds are held only for immediate transfer, not invested
  • •No pooling or collective investment structure
  • •Where you selected "unsure", we assumed the higher-risk scenario
  • •Analysis based on current Australian law (Corporations Act 2001, AML/CTF Act, Privacy Act 1988, ACL)
  • •This assessment is point-in-time only — regulations change frequently

If any of these change, your launch status may change. Re-check your clearance if your platform model shifts.
