Strike is a payments application developed by Zap Solutions. It allowing users to send and receive money instantly around the world, for free. Strike moves fiat by buying and selling bitcoin in real time over the Lightning Network
Users use Strike to pay each other, buy goods and services online, make micropayments, tip content creators, as well as buy and sell Bitcoin.
Users using Strike have to complete KYC. Once KYC'd they can also buy Bitcoin directly with Strike by converting their USD to BTC.
Strike is to custodian of any fiat deposited within the the app.
### Region / Currencies
Strike is currently only offered in the United States and only supports USD.
Strike is not available in you residents of New York and Hawaii.
200 other countries and adding EUR, GBP, CHF are on their roadmap. They are also keen to add USDT and USDC.

To get higher limits >$100 users need to provide more information including:

### Chargeback risk
Terms state:
>You will not be able to reverse or cancel a transaction once you have confirmed that you wish to proceed with the Transaction, and the Services cannot assist you to reverse or modify any transactions.
It is not 100% clear is this relates to all transactions (fiat and BTC). Either way it appears that chargeback risk would be low.

Looks like they are giving access to all Bittrex users (1 million+), and potentially more as they grow.

Cryptocurrencies / Bitcoin are not mentioned explicitly in prohibited uses.

I am unsure as to this at the moment. I think it is just an email (would be good for a user of Strike to confirm).

Immediate.
