Identity checks
You will be asked to verify who you are before certain services are switched on. This follows the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 and is described in detail on the AML / KYC page.
Start with AvenQuant with confidence and clarity
AvenQuant operates in line with the laws that apply in Australia. We use methods that focus on operational transparency, data protection, information security and compliance with the requirements that apply to technology-based financial services.
This page explains which Australian bodies matter to you, what our obligations are and, just as importantly, what regulation does not do. It does not remove investment risk and it does not guarantee a profit.

Regulation
AvenQuant operates within the Australian legal and regulatory framework for services connected with digital assets and crypto-assets, including the federal requirements that apply and those set by individual states and territories.
Registration and regulatory oversight in Australia
| Jurisdiction | Regulator | Registration / regulatory basis |
|---|---|---|
| Australia, federal level | ASIC (Australian Securities and Investments Commission) | Complies with the Australian federal requirements that apply to a technology platform providing information and tools for trading crypto-assets and other financial products, including advertising, disclosure and fair-dealing standards. Registration and licence details are confirmed to clients on request. |
| Australia, complaints and disputes | AFCA (Australian Financial Complaints Authority) | Complies with the requirement to run an internal complaints process and to explain external dispute resolution to clients through AFCA where a complaint falls within its scope and is not resolved internally. |
| States and territories | Relevant state and territory authorities | Complies with applicable consumer protection, privacy and financial crime requirements across New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory. |
Regulator names are shown so that you can identify who oversees each area. They do not mean that any regulator has approved, endorsed or recommended AvenQuant or its products.
Transparency about regulation
AvenQuant aims to maintain the registrations, permissions and compliance procedures that apply to the services it provides in Australia, and to explain them in words you can check. Where a detail such as a registration number is not yet displayed on this page, your manager can confirm it on request, and you are welcome to ask before you deposit.
The legal entity that enters into any transaction with you is named on the About page and in the Terms of Use. This website is informational. It does not provide personal financial advice.
Regulation is not a guarantee. Regulation does not remove investment risk and does not guarantee a profit. Crypto-assets are exposed to market volatility and other risks, and you can lose some or all of the money you commit. Read the Risk disclosure before you deposit.
What this means for you
Four practical consequences of operating under Australian rules.
Honest advertising
We do not promise profit, use countdown timers or describe reviews as verified performance. What we say about the platform has to match what the platform does.
A complaints route
If we get something wrong, you can complain to us first and, if you are not satisfied with the outcome, take the matter to AFCA where it falls within its scope. The complaints page explains each step.
Privacy by law
Your personal information is handled in line with the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles, as set out in the Privacy Policy.
