Today we released new Request and Receive functionality within' @ln_strike!

At Strike, we're building the best financial experience and the world's first truly global and open checking account.

Request P2P, cross-border payments, and native #Bitcoin all in one feature👇💃

When clicking Request, users are now able to specify another Strike user and specify the amount they'd like to request.

Here I request:

- @mrfelton in Spain
- @crypteauu in Chicago
- @RomanMartinezC in El Salvador.

Different countries. Different currencies.

Doesn't matter.

Pending requests will be available on your home screen.

Here I have some pending requests from:

- @crypteauu in Chicago using USD
- @mrfelton in Spain for EUR
- @ottosuess in Brazil using Brazilian Reel
- @RomanMartinezC in El Salvador

I just completed one local P2P payment and three cross-border payments to different countries with different currencies. It's that easy.

Mainstream UX that abstracts the #Bitcoin magic happening under the hood.

Cross border payments are now P2P and will never be the same!🚀🌚

Wait, that’s not all.

Users can also generate Requests that aren't for a specific Strike user that anyone in the world can pay.

When clicking the #Bitcoin icon, Strike generates a Bitcoin/Lightning Network invoice that any Bitcoin and/or Lightning Network wallet can pay.

Here my friend texted me a Strike #Bitcoin request that I paid with @MuunWallet.

I could’ve paid it with @CashApp, @coinbase, or any Bitcoin/Lightning wallet.

My friend got $50. I used a free, global, wallet and #Bitcoin to pay it 🤯

Open monetary network interoperability!

Lastly, if you create a request that you’d like to have someone pay in person or that you’d like to pay yourself, you can simply tap the QR code.

Here I created a $5 request and paid it from my @MuunWallet.

Simple and smooth.

Building the tools that enables everyone on the planet to remain interoperable with #Bitcoin.

A bank account in your pocket that is natively interoperable with the best open monetary network in human history 🚀🌚😃🔥

Update Strike and give it a spin!

Oops, here is the demo!
