Excellent service.

Excellent service. App easy to navigate and provides current information. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2026

The App and the customer service is exemplary

I use the Stocks and Shares ISA and have been extremely impressed with the app, especially its style and its easy use. It makes investing easy and the insights are particularly helpful given the vast range of ETFs on offer. What impressed me the most was the customer service, as they supported my transfer of SAYE shares into my ISA despite it not being an offered service, going the extra mile is a complete breath of fresh air as a lot of firms say no when its not on offer.

Easy to use app with pointers to help investing. Any problems are sorted out quickly via email. Overall I am happy with Light-year and the staff. The app works fine for the novice and is easy to use. I would recommend Light-year for share investing. G Jackson Reviewed on: 22nd January 2026
