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.
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/strike-bitcoin/id1488724463I'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.
I read that 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.
