Most of the programs listed on this website utilize one of the popular e-currencies (e-gold or e-bullion). You will most likely need to deposit funds with one or both of these e-currencies before you will be able make deposits with most of the investment opportunities listed on this site.
The information below will help you sign on with those that you need.
E-Gold and E-Bullion are the only ones backed with gold reserves.
A list of recommended E-currency exchangers is also given below.
E-Gold
Some of the programs featured on this site utilise E-gold for both funding and payment. If you don't have an E-gold account already, you can get one for FREE at: https://www.e-gold.com/e-gold.asp?cid=3884597
Just select 'Create Account' and fill in the on-line form. To fund your account you can use one of their market makers listed in the e-gold directory of Exchange Services
E-Bullion
Some programs also utilise E-Bullion for both funding and payment.
If you don't have an E-Bullion account already, you can get one for FREE at: http://www.e-bullion.com/index.php
Just select 'Open Account' and fill in the on-line form. To fund your account you can use one of their Approved Exchange Providers listed in the E-bullion directory.
Note that E-Bullion offers E-Bullion Gold, Silver and E-currency. Most programs that use E-Bullion deal only in E-Bullion E-currency. A few still use E-Bullion Gold.
E-Bullion does not charge transfer fees to other accounts, but charges a monthly fee of 0.01 oz of gold (around $7.5 currently) on all active accounts.
You need to use your account regularly (about once a month) or it gets deactivated, and they appear to be reluctant to reactivate currently! So be warned.
