Lightyear makes investing feel simple and accessible with its easy-to-use app and low fees. The platform offers a great range of stocks, ETFs, and pays interest on cash, which many find a real bonus. While the customer service is generally quick and helpful, some wish for faster support options and a wider product range.

Positive themes

  • Lightyear’s app is super easy to use, perfect for beginners and pros alike.
  • Lightyear keeps fees low and transparent with great value for money.
  • Interest paid on invested cash is a brilliant bonus from Lightyear.

Negative themes

  • Customer support can be slow or hard to reach for some Lightyear users.
  • Some wish Lightyear offered more stocks and ETFs to choose from.
  • Occasional glitches and slow logout/login issues affect the app experience.
