Lightyear is a simple and approachable way to invest your money globally without unnecessary barriers or fees. We make investing approachable with a simple and easy-to-use app on mobile and web.
What problems are we solving?
- Expensive and opaque fee structures: Traditional players often have hidden and high cost fees
- Limited access to markets: Local brokers often offer bad access to global markets
- Limited information and education: Typically lacking or hard to understand
We’re at the beginning of our journey and haven’t solved the entire problem just yet, but believe that we’re already Lightyears ahead of the incumbents.

We give you access to:
- A multi-currency account to deposit, hold and convert across three different currencies. Find out more by reading How does my multi-currency account work?
