Why You Need an Account on Blacksheep

Blacksheep is an on/off-ramp for Australian businesses and individuals with an ABN, designed to make moving between AUD and crypto fast and compliant. To use it, you’ll first need a registered account and KYC approval.

Step 1: Register Your Account

1. Visit my.blacksheep.money/signup
2. Sign up using:
   • Your email address (verify with the magic link), or
   • Google Single Sign-On (SSO) for quick access

Step 2: Verify Your Identity (KYC)

Australian law requires all crypto exchanges to collect KYC information. On Blacksheep, you’ll need to provide:

• A government-issued ID (driver’s license, passport, or proof of age card)
• Proof of address (utility bill, bank statement, or council rates notice)
  • Note: In some cases, Blacksheep can verify your address electronically without needing a document.

Step 3: Provide Your ABN

Blacksheep requires an Australian Business Number (ABN) for trading.

• Sole traders can use their personal ABN.
• Companies, trusts, and SMSFs can provide entity ABNs.
  
  • If you don’t already have one, you can apply for free at the Australian Business Register.

Step 4: Access Your Dashboard

Once approved, you’ll receive a confirmation email. From your dashboard, you can:

• Add a trading account (entity, company, trust, SMSF)
• Deposit AUD
• Buy or sell crypto (currently USDC)

Common Issues & Fixes

• Mismatched names: Make sure your Blacksheep account and ID match exactly.
• Expired ID: Only current, valid identification is accepted.
• Slow approval: Most verifications are instant, but manual reviews can take longer.

You’re now ready to move on to funding your account.
