Another good option is Bitcoin Well for the US and Canada. I started using them last year.
They have an account option that doesn't require KYC but has a higher spread. It is much lower for verified accounts.

They have an OTC desk if you happen to be a whale.

I will check it out, thanks for the tip.

I ended up going with Swanbitcoin over strike. I read some extremely negative review regarding strike.me on trustpilot, and I got scared off.

Swanbitcoin was reasonably easy to get setup. I did have a little trouble getting my bank account setup with them, but their online support helped me through the issues. I made my first purchase yesterday. When using ACH transfers, they do have a 10 day hold on your purchase before you can withdraw. I'm going to test out the withdrawal process and fees. If that goes smoothly, I'll setup the recurring purchase/transfers, and I will provide an update.

That sounds bad for Strike but they also have 5 star rating on Apple with 22,000+ reviews.
They have only 60 reviews on Trustpilot but most of them are negative.

Strike Reviews on Apple Store

I'm not sure why there is such a big difference. The Apple reviews have a much large sample size so
I would assume that is much more accurate as to the trustworthiness of the Strike app.
To me Apple is more trustworthy as a company than Trustpilot. I also believe Mallers has a good reputation.

I read with Trustpilot it is easy for companies to pay for fake positive reviews and have negative reviews removed.
There are tons of reddit posts saying Trustpilot is a scam. So personally I would be wary of them.
