Fees when withdrawal money because of currency

I started my journey a couple of months ago and I am delighted that I started with Lightyear. I like the transparency of this company. The only thing that I would change if I could is that when making a deposit in GB it is acceptable but when selling an asset (usually in US), we have to convert the money for GB and pay fees. This is the cons in my view. Reviewed on: 5th April 2024

Great option for a beginner

I have never bought stocks before and I thought that it would be very complicated. It was in fact a quick and straightforward process. I also appreciate getting a decent rate of interest for the money on the account. Reviewed on: 5th April 2024
