Lightyear has provided me with a very simple platform to start investing in individual stocks, alongside with the lowest fees that I have yet to find. The platform also provides great insight into each stock option, helping you make more educated investment choices if you choose to do so. The app is very easy to use and it is easy and quick to transfer money into your Lightyear account. Initially there was a limited selection for stocks only, but this has vastly increased in variety due to addition of new markets, as well as new products such as ETFs. I have been very happy to have been able to use Lightyear. Reviewed on: 8th January 2024
