Lightyear Investments reviews (1340)

Fantastic Investing App / Service

5
Highly recommended especially for US stocks. Have got other accounts with Hargreaves Lansdown, Freetrade, Trading 212 & InvestEngine. Lightyear has the best App operation out of all of them. Very fast, slick & easy to use with a mass of information at your finger tips. Reviewed on: 15th March 2023

When I joined Lightyear, I noticed it was a bit different. The company statements were clear and passionate, the application was elegant and the customer service is proactive and swift. Fantastic company! Reviewed on: 15th March 2023

Experienced investor who prefers simplicity.

Using Lightyear provided me with a new experience where friction is nonexistent. Lightyear checks all the boxes, ease of use, great onboarding experience, smooth trading experience, a variety of trading instruments in various markets and still ongoing. Happy to be using Lightyear and will be using it aggressively after the market recession. Reviewed on: 15th March 2023

Value for Money Platform

5
This is the best platform by far in terms of functionality, features, reliability and cost. It also handles multi currencies (GBP, USD and EUR) Never had a need to contact support for anything; everything simply works as it should. Reviewed on: 15th March 2023

Probably the best investment platform on the market right now

5
Pros: - great UI/UX app (they seem to pay extra attention to details) - multi-currency account (GBP/USD/EUR) with national bank interest rates - zero management fees! Cons: - a fairly limited portfolio of stocks/ETFs (but they keep expanding it) Reviewed on: 15th March 2023
