Investing made simple

With minimal to no costs for trading, it's a budget-friendly option for those just starting out with investing. Even as a beginner i found the app very easy to use. The only downside I can think of is that they're fairly new, but I haven't had any real problems with them! Reviewed on: 15th April 2024

Overall great experience, low fees, simplicity.

Overall great experience, low fees, simplicity. On things to improve is speed of withdrawals, usually it is half a day which is good, but not minutes which would be great. Reviewed on: 15th April 2024

Experience

Good execution fees. Lengthy amount of stocks to choose from. Provides good info for new investors. Would be good to see more popular stocks featured in the listings. Categorises stocks in a neat manner. Reviewed on: 15th April 2024

Easy to use, great value

I love that it's free to have an account, pays interest and the fees are low and transparent. EU ETF are available which is a plus. Transferring money in was painful a few times (maybe I'm just not used to US transfer options and even made mistakes). You have to upload proof of transaction and there is no preview option, sometimes hard to get the right document on the phone. There are few glitches, like one of my positions is miscalculated on the main page, but shows correctly on the detailed one. I don't like that the log out panel is where the fingerprint sensor is, sometimes it loads slowly and instead of logging in I log out and need to get an SMS code... Reviewed on: 15th April 2024

Lightyear makes it easy for me to invest as I am a beginner investor who doesn’t have a lot of time. I like that their app is user-friendly and their support team replies fast as well. Reviewed on: 15th April 2024
