A relatively new [[currency exchange]] market, ExchangeBitcoins.com has a simple look, a basic set of trading features, and a well-documented API. Accounts can be funded with Dwolla, wire transfer, check and of course bitcoin. Orders executed on the site cause the USD and BTC account balances to be debited and credited in accordance with the amount and price of the order. All trades take place with funds that were previously deposited with the company.

===BTC===
 
There are no fees incurred when transferring bitcoins to an Exchange Bitcoins account. On viewing the Deposit page, a temporary address is issued that remains active for the logged-in account for 24 hours. After 72 hours this address becomes eligible to be assigned to process deposits from another account.  Funds are available once [[confirmation|confirmed]] (6 blocks) and manually approved by the company. This process is stated to take 8 hours or less with an email option to expedite the deposit.
