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.
