Lightyear Investments reviews (1340)

The best trading user experience.

5
The best app I've used regarding user experience. It is very simple to find useful data like Market Cap, EPS and Dividends info. Also, very appealing interest rates and fees. Reviewed on: 15th March 2024

Transparent, flexible and cheap

5
It's easy to manage and transparent - and I can access many ETFs that I can't access in my bank securities account, or only at very high cost. The data and charts next to the shares can help you make a decision. In Hungary, they have also made available a type of account that allows me to invest tax-free. This is great!

Great user experience

5
Great user experience comparing to other competitors, friendly fees and its structure, might be greater product availability, interest on uninvested money the greatest in the market. Reviewed on: 15th March 2024

Great platform, especially for those less experienced

5
Simple and easy to navigate interface, very reasonable fees. The equity selection is smaller than you get at the bigger and more established brokers, but it can be beneficial for new investors, when it's easy to get overwhelmed with too much choice. And the selection is growing regularly. Reviewed on: 15th March 2024

I have never had any problems with Lightyear.

I have never had any problems with Lightyear. It's a good place to start, if you're new to investments. The apps' interface is very user friendly and easy to navigate, making transfers, exchanges, buying and selling stocks and shares very easy to learn. I especially love the updates on a companies share prices, stocks fall and rise, so to have information at hand as to why that is happening to a particular company or area of investment you are interested in, helps the user to make more informed decisions.
