Lightyear is excellent for those who are rookies to investing!

5
I had never invested in stocks or ETFs before, as I was intimidated by big banks and afraid of losing money. When I discovered Lightyear, investing was made so easy as I could visually see where my money is going. Lightyear’s app also has reccommendations by market analysts which has also made me much calmer in decision making. Reviewed on: 13th March 2023

It's the only app I use for investing

After having discovered Lightyear, it is the only app I have used for investing since then. No fees and gives a fair interest rate on your uninvested cash. Reviewed on: 13th March 2023
