Crypto Onramps? Lowest hold time?

How do you guys currently go from fiat to usable crypto in the shortest period of time? Bank, Credit, Debit, Paypal, doesn't matter how.

Coinbase wants to hold my funds for 9 days despite having a fantastic trading history there.
Binance wants to hold my funds for 10 days despite having a fantastic trading history there.

Is there any platform that can get me my funds now and allow me to send them off platform to a personal wallet or 3rd party exchange?
Cashapp has very competitive fees and no hold time, perhaps try that

They'll let me send it off platform to a personal wallet or exchange?

Yep, they will. Just need to complete the KYC stuff
I agree with 335i. Not a bad option and you can now send BTC from CashApp via Lightning as well if your exchange accepts Lightning.
Strike, Cashapp, or Wire transfer via Gemini are the best from what I've seen.

Kraken and Gemini are the only exchanges I’ll use unless I don’t have a choice.
Cashapp seems to have a hold time if I want to withdraw to a 3rd party, not just send to other cash app users.

This will highlight my ignorance of the lightning network, but... What's the process of sending Lightning Network BTC from Strike to a generic exchange? Is there any bridging from the lightning network to the normal bitcoin network required?

Edit: Strike's limits are way too low. I'm looking to move min $5k max $25k.

Gemini is 5 days
Kraken is up to 72 hours

Kraken is the best so far but looking for any potential for instant / hours, even if it comes with a higher fee. I can't get anything liquid right now.
