We’d like to share a secret many of our Japanese and Russian customers already know. When compared to Western Union or MoneyGram Liberty Reserve often has a lower total fee, even including the 3rd party exchanger fee. It’s secure, and it’s also a completely anonymous service, you don’t need to give them any personal info whatsoever.

It’s easy to setup an account, just go to the Liberty Reserve website and open a free account. Then visit a 3rd party exchange to “buy” the Liberty Reserve digital currency, either USD or EUR. We suggest you check out Better Exchangers or EBuyGold, or you can find the best exchanger for you at BSRates. Payments are generally made by wire transfer.

You usually have to wait a couple days for the transaction to complete, then you’re good to go. You can also pre-load your Liberty Reserve account with funds, then you don’t have to wait, you can pay instantly.

We apologize if the preceding sounds like an ad, it’s most definitely not, we just hope this information will be appreciated by some of our customers.
