I hope strike works to solve this, but I've got a similar problem that I can't figure out how to solve with strike. I have a similar situation. I live in Zambia, but I have a US bank account. If i want to send money to myself, I generally use Xoom. But Xoom offers bad exchange rates and fees. I have strike on my phone in Zambia, but because it's not a US strike account, I can not buy BTC on strike from my US bank account. I have the same issue with cashapp. The only reliable method has been to buy BTC with Venmo, then send it to strike, then cash out on the mobile money app here in Zambia. It's really cumbersome and annoying soningenerally just pay the fees and take the hit with Xoom
