First time

After hearing about Lightyear on a podcast I gave it a go . I was a bit nervous in the beginning , but grew in confidence and that was helped by contacting Lightyear and getting a response straight away . Really easy to use app, great customer service , low cost , and love the part invest into shares I don’t have to have the full amount for one share . Reviewed on: 15th March 2023

Investing made simple

I have experience from several investment platforms, but Lightyear ia a lightyear away from those others I have tried. Starting from the registration process to W8BENE is done simple and fast. Reviewed on: 15th March 2023

Simple investing

Being a bit naive when it comes to investing I was so glad to find Lightyear. Very straightforward and secure. Wish I'd found it earlier. Reviewed on: 15th March 2023

Newbie must have

Became aware of Lightyear from Youtube, I believe I have come along way from this is interesting, to feeling confident with the product. Extremely helpful presentations, and explanations too. This helps me understand where I've gone wrong and how to learn for the future. No-one is good from the start, but the guidance and support is very good, helping to get a grasp of things and how to assess what other people say and do. Also the app is up-grading and evolving too, which just adds to easy of understanding and extra perks, offers, and useful attractions. YES, very good indeed. Reviewed on: 15th March 2023
