Undependable Purchasing Power
Hello, I used strike for two transactions successfully. I purchased Bitcoin and sent it to a different wallet. I was impressed, it was a streamlined and easy process. However, on my third attempt to purchase Bitcoin, it keeps giving me an error message “This order cannot be completed at this time. Try again later.” This is bad if you are trying to buy a dip.
Strike wallet is great .. when it works. However I wouldn’t bet on it always working, keep your options open to purchasing elsewhere during their down times.

Can’t deposit funds b/c 3DS
This is aggravating. I made deposits beforehand minutes b4. You have to 1st deposit then you can buy - it should be like cash app where you can just buy… 1 step THIS IS COMMON SENSE. Anyway Now I can’t buy any bitcoin on APP. I am buying on cashapp again. Cash app is seamless and simple and works 100% and truly intuitive. And you can make larger deposits for people who have money to invest!!!

Can’t verify bank info
I was referred to this app by a friend and just assumed he was using it for a while but turns out he just wanted the $5 credit but the app had no issues taking my money but now that I want it back it says it can’t link my bank account and I’ve been looking threw the reviews finally and noticed that all the 5 stars look shady like they were written bypeople that do it for a living The issue was never resolved my support was just closed.
Update it’s not necessarily strikes fault on my issue but I still think bank info should be verified before they take your money

My favorite bitcoin & lightning ⚡️ app!!
Strike is the best app I’ve used when interacting with bitcoin and the lightning network! What Jack and his team have built is something incredible and very underestimated by many. The onramp to buying bitcoin is the best one I’ve seen, just link your bank account and load up a balance and you’re off to the races. I probably use Strike at least once a week, when some exchanges are down I’ve been able to buy bitcoin and send straight to my hardware wallet. Also I’ve had lots of fun interacting with many other wallets using Strike. Finally the opportunity that it’s bringing for Salvadoran families here in the US and in El Salvador to transfer cents with minimal fees is what gets me the most excited!
Big fan of Strike and I can’t wait to test the Pay Me in bitcoin feature once it rolls out.

Account Opening Nightmare and No Customer Support
I was excited about using this app and try it’s supposedly groundbreaking technology to move money around the world in seconds. However, they have not mastered the most basic thing in financial services - account opening.
While most of Fintechs have streamlined their account opening process and minimize the process to 3min, this company kept saying that their compliance team needed additional information to open a simple account. This information was highly sensitive and not even banks would ask for it.
The account opening was finally turned down without a specific reason and I have been trying to contact with the company so they can explain me their data storage policy to avoid been misused. I am very concerned that this information could be fraudulently used ad the company and it’s representatives have gone MIA.

Hey Mr. DeFi, We are sorry to hear this. Strikes "Terms of Service" web page covers the topic of data storage in detail should you have any doubts or concerns. We sincerely apologize for any delays experienced in response times, a member of our team will reach out shortly.
Won’t let me move my money after an entire month.
Thankfully I only put $50 in. But I can’t move or withdraw my money. I sent an email immediately with no response after a month. I just sent another email. We’ll see if they even reply. But I probably won’t see that $50 again. Definitely don’t use.
Edit: They were able to fix my account and I was then able to transfer money. Since then, the app seems to be working properly.

Stack Sats
I use this app to pay Lightning invoices on Fold App for 3%+ satoshis (bitcoin) back on different purchases that I would buy anyways. I’ve noticed sometimes because the middle man of VISA/MasterCard aren’t getting their 2-3% cut of the transaction fee anymore, the Fold App Lightning invoices are actually cheaper sometimes when you pay via Strike. On the rare occasion you might have to add a couple extra cents in order to pay the invoice. That’s pretty much my only complaint, however. Pretty awesome stuff. Thanks Jack Mallers and team!
