Transparency and Reliability of Australia Post
Australia Post is one of the country’s oldest organizations. It was previously known as Postmaster’s General Department and was established as a private entity in 1809 with ex-convict Issac Nicols, who was appointed as its first postmaster.
Arians further added about the transparency of Australia Post;
Our mission is to make bitcoin safe and easy for every Australian. For many people, paying for bitcoin at an Australia Post office feels safer than transferring funds online – particularly for first-time buyers.
