◈ Company

# A regulated Stablecoin Issuer, powered by digital currency infrastructure built to last .

AUDC is an Australian financial services company that holds an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL 700123), including authorisation to issue AUDD as a non-cash payment facility.

We launched in 2022 with a simple position: a digital dollar should operate within established financial services regulation and be backed by high-quality reserves. AUDD can be redeemed 1:1 for Australian dollars through an approved Distributor, or directly with AUDC if that is not available. Conditions and fees apply (see the PDS).

More than $2 billion in AUDD on-chain volume later, that position has not changed. In 2026, we are extending the model to New Zealand with NZDSC, issued by NZDC Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary, within New Zealand's emerging regulatory framework.

## Enterprise-grade infrastructure

Not just a stablecoin, but the platform behind it: payments, minting, named virtual accounts and a full RESTful API.

Native on nine chains, each with public explorer links.

## AUDD stablecoin

AUDD is a stablecoin backed 1:1 by Australian dollars held in reserve. AUDC issues AUDD and surrounds it with the infrastructure to move it: payments, minting and a full API. AUDC is the issuer and your contracting counterparty for minting, redemption and payments. That is the whole design, and the reason a CFO can take it to a board.

**Regulated, not adjacent to regulation**

AUDC holds AFSL 700123 from ASIC. Its subsidiary, Dexah Advisory Pty Ltd (trading as AUDD Digital), provides distribution services and is registered with AUSTRAC (Registration No. DCE100737894-001).

**Backed by quality reserves**

Reserves are held on bare trust for AUDD holders, as Australian dollar cash with banks or AUD cash equivalents such as government bonds, and are never re-hypothecated. Independently attested by William Buck since August 2024.
