Security and fraud

ASX takes issues of cyber security extremely seriously. We often receive reports of fraudulent
"ASX-branded" websites which are not affiliated or associated with ASX.

To assist users of ASX websites and applications in protecting their data, we have provided below some information on how to identify whether an "ASX-branded" website, mobile application or internet application is in fact an official ASX website or application.

Any "ASX-branded" or "SFE-branded" website or application that requests the deposit of funds and/or cryptocurrencies for the purpose of trading in ASX-quoted products or digital assets should be treated as fraudulent and should be reported to ASX using the instructions at the end of this page.

It is important to be aware that ASX does not offer customers the ability to trade directly through ASX for ASX-quoted products (eg shares, securities, options, ETF, etc). Similarly, ASX does not offer any direct trading of digital assets such as cryptocurrencies (e.g. Bitcoin, Ethereum).

ASX-quoted products are only able to be bought and sold through a broker that is a registered ASX Participant. Click on the button below for a list of ASX Participants.
