Online payment services are simplifying how crypto neobanks launch, offering access to KYC, compliance, and integrations via trusted online payment and gateway providers.

We just recently announced that Striga has joined, and we’ve been overwhelmed by the support and curiosity from our community. We’ve received a lot of great questions — here are some of the most common ones, along with what’s next for Striga and Lightspark.
A few weeks ago, Striga officially joined Lightspark — a company building the most efficient platform for global, real-time money movement on the Bitcoin network. Together, we’re combining Striga’s strong foundation in crypto compliance and banking infrastructure with Lightspark’s cutting-edge payment technology.
Lightspark and Striga share a vision: to make global payments faster, cheaper, and more open. Striga’s expertise in crypto-native card programs, KYC/KYB, and fiat–crypto bridging complements Lightspark’s Grid API. This partnership accelerates our roadmap and expands what both companies can offer developers and fintechs.
Nothing changes right now — your contracts, APIs, and integrations continue to work as before. You’ll continue to work with the same team, and we’ll notify you well in advance of any updates or migrations.
Lightspark partners now benefit from Striga’s capabilities in regulated card issuance, fiat ramps, and compliance tooling. Over time, you’ll see these integrated into Lightspark’s offerings.
For now, yes. The Striga brand and platform will remain active while we work behind the scenes on deeper integration. We’ll share updates as the two teams and products come together.
No immediate changes. You can continue using all existing Striga endpoints and tools. If updates occur, we’ll make migration guides and timelines available well ahead of time.
Please continue reaching out to your Striga account manager or the same support channels you’ve always used. Lightspark’s team is working closely with Striga to ensure seamless communication.
The combination of Lightspark and Striga gives builders a powerful stack — from compliant onboarding and card issuance to fast global settlement over Bitcoin. Together, we’re unlocking new possibilities for wallets, neobanks, and payment companies.
We’ll be gradually rolling out updates that bring the best of both platforms together. Expect new APIs, expanded corridors, and improved developer experiences — with the reliability and compliance you’ve come to expect from Striga.
