Lightyear Reviews 2,458

They’ve made no mistakes so far.

I am actually glad that I have a habit of researching everything before I invest my money. I always read reviews, and I don't just look at the positive ones that appear at the top. I pay particular attention to the 1-star reviews because they often reveal issues that the marketing doesn't mention.

I made this one 5 stars so it float on top for a bit that give people an idea.

I came across this platform through a referral link and initially considered opening an account. I already have a Trading 212 account, which was opened without any problems. I have lived in the UK for over 18 years, work here, pay taxes here, have a UK home address, and provided my National Insurance number. However, because my nationality is different, I felt I was treated unfairly on Lightyear despite clearly being a UK resident I was rejected.

To be honest, that experience alone was enough to put me off recommending this platform.

After reading many of the 1-star reviews, I actually felt relieved that I had not invested my money here. The reviews raised concerns that I believe potential customers should carefully consider before signing up.

I will certainly share my experience with fellow investors and traders who may be considering this platform. This experience has reminded me why it is important to read the negative reviews first and not rely solely on YouTube recommendations, as many creators are sponsored to promote these types of platforms.

For me, thorough research before investing is always the best approach.

Absolutely wonderful, please dont change anything

great work!

Easy to trade, quick, relaible.

Very good and useful platform, especially for beginners in investing. Everything is explained and very detailed.
Yet, it takes too many attempts for me to find a right place, where I can place buying/selling orders. I´d rather find the opportunity under the arrow of Uninvested money (Investeerimata raha), but there I can find only the list of my previous transactions. This is a bit unlogical for me.
And, I miss the opportunity to place an direct order. I mean there could be an opportunity to set my preferences for cases when new money has arrived to my account. I understand why it´s not reasonable for separate stocks, but it could be there for ETF-s. For example "invest 20% of the uninvested money for this ETF and 30% for that ETF every time when new money arrives".

Always improving and scalable reports of my portfolio. All in all great experience and easy to use. Hope that it will remain the same and conquers the market.

All good so far...realy easy to use the app

Very easy to use it

Excellent investing app. The interface is modern, easy to navigate, and gives a great overview of my portfolio. Transparent fees, smooth execution, and access to a wide range of markets make it stand out. As a user from Estonia, I’ve found it to be one of the best investment platforms available

Lightyear user interface is easy to use, i can see manage what i need to do

I've been with lightyear over a year. Easy to use, instant purchases and sales and money can be changed and withdrawn in a couple of days. Also great market info and record keeping.

I’m very impressed with Lightyear, very low fx fee, detailed and clear screen, telling you your stocks value both in sterling pound and listing currency, currency impact and more.
However, they need to add some more ETFs like SSLN and IGDA etc.
Overall my experience is very good and I will continue to use Lightyear for my stocks ISA and General accounts.

it works, it is easy to use

I have been with them for ... 4 years now. I have had zero issues with them. The recent stocks and shares ISA also opens it up for me further. I remember when I first joined, the number of stocks they had were low. But you could easily request them and they took action fairly quick.

If you are an investor and looking for a platform. You won't complain with what Lightyear has to offer. Ofcourse, be aware that investing has its own risks.

Lightyear is great, especially for business - highly recommend.
My only reservation is Invest Engine offer more ETFs - it would be good for Lightyear to keep offering more ETFs and the same as the competition.

Easy to use and very reliable

Easy to learn and to use. Huge variety of shares and etfs with low costs!
