funding_facts_verification

14 pending first-party re-check 10 verified first-hand, 4 still pending for stated reasons

Read the Australian help-centre pages directly. Three values were corrected. Four remain unconfirmed and each says why: CoinSpot withdrawal timing was not on the pages read, OKX does not publish deposit timing, and both Binance entries depend on a page that requires login

binance_rail_verifiability

unverified, pages unreachable unverifiable by design: the AUD deposit page requires login before showing payment methods

Read directly. The distinction matters: this is not a page this site failed to check, it is a page that publishes nothing to check

okx_deposit_limits

varies by method, shown after verification not published publicly at all; OKX documents only how to view them in-account

Read from the OKX help article updated 2026-08-05, which explains where to look rather than stating limits

kraken_deposit_time

standard EFT 1–2 business days bank transfer 0–2 business days, Osko near-instant, PayID instant; Osko limits A$10,000 daily / A$40,000 monthly

Read from the Kraken cash deposit table and the Osko/PayID article updated 2026-01-20

coinspot_withdrawal_fee

free, no minimum or maximum free to bank, no min/max; PayPal withdrawals 2% capped at A$1.25

Read from the CoinSpot withdrawal fee article; the PayPal case was missing

coinspot_deposit_limit

24-hour cap: none no cap for raised accounts; low-level accounts capped at A$10,000 per day

Read from the CoinSpot AUD Deposit FAQ. The "no limit" line applies only to accounts that have had their limit raised

hk_usdt_pair

not confirmed confirmed absent: retail quote currencies are HKD and USD

Checked the trading pairs and the full deposit schedule; USDT appears in neither

hk_trading_fee

maker/taker approximately 0.12% VIP0 maker 0.29% / taker 0.5%, minimum trading fee USD 1.99

Read from the official fee schedule. The 0.12% figure came from secondary reporting and does not appear in any tier

sg_deposit_fee

not confirmed, route excluded from ranking SGD PayNow free; FAST free at SGD 1,000+, otherwise SGD 2.50

Read from the official fee page. The Singapore route is now calculable and ranks below Coinhako

nz_withdrawal_fee

NZD withdrawals NZ$29

Recorded from the official withdrawal schedule; it was missing entirely

nz_deposit_fee

NZ$15 flat fee on deposits under NZ$5,000 no ordinary NZD bank deposit exists; SWIFT NZ$50,000+ via OTC desk, or 3.5% by card

Read from the official fee page. The NZ$15 figure came from secondary reporting and appears nowhere on the page; the site had used it to publish a break-even analysis against Easy Crypto, which is now withdrawn

sg_licensee_count

about 37 as of August 2026 (secondary source) 38 verified in the MAS Financial Institutions Directory

Counted directly in the MAS directory filtered to Major Payment Institution and Digital Payment Token Service

hk_application_status

not on the licensed list application submitted 2023-11-16, withdrawn 2024-05-24

The SFC also publishes a list of returned, refused and withdrawn applicants. OKX Hong Kong FinTech Company Limited appears there, which is a stronger and more specific finding than absence from the licensed list

hk_licence_reference

VASP-001, licensed August 2023 CE Reference BPL992, Hash Blockchain Limited, licensed 2022-11-09

Read directly from the SFC list of licensed virtual asset trading platforms. Secondary reporting had described a "VASP-001" numbering the SFC does not use, an August 2023 date, and the platform brand rather than the operating entity

affiliate_coverage

5 new records with affiliate_rules.enabled = 0

The site has no commercial relationship with any of the newly added local platforms; several of them now rank ahead of platforms that do pay commission

local_platforms

4 exchanges, Australia only 8 exchanges across 4 jurisdictions

Add the platforms that actually hold the local licence or registration in NZ, SG and HK, so the region pages compare real options instead of only reporting that the four Australian-facing platforms do not serve those markets

jurisdictions

AU AU,NZ,SG,HK

Add residence-specific eligibility and funding comparisons without inheriting Australian assumptions

bank_route_status

not confirmed not confirmed (reported reinstatement disclosed)

Media reports Binance Australia reinstated AUD bank and PayID rails on 2026-01-16; disclosed on the page but not used to change the ranking, because media reporting never feeds a cost conclusion

funding_facts

14 practical funding facts across 4 exchanges

Publish deposit/withdrawal times, withdrawal fees and minimums, all flagged as pending first-party re-check

regulatory_history

6 events across 3 exchanges

Publish the material regulatory and incident record for every compared platform, including the platforms that rank best on cost

card_route

unconfirmed supported_quote_required

Binance documents AUD card purchases but requires an account-specific final quote

card_route

unconfirmed supported_and_calculable

OKX Australia publishes a 1.50% AUD debit/credit card purchase fee

card_supported

0 1

Kraken official AUD funding table confirms card fee of 3.75% + 0.25 AUD
