==Large amounts==
For large amounts of bitcoin (USD 1000 or more), you probably would get the best rate if you withdraw funds via ACH or via [[Liberty Reserve]] from a major exchange.

This page will cut through the clutter, and help direct you to the right exchanger for your needs.

==Large amounts==

For large amounts of bitcoin (USD 1000 or more), you probably would get the best rate if you deposit funds via bank wire, ACH, Euro bank transfer, or via [[Liberty Reserve]] into a major exchange.
