What is Lightyear?
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.
What problems are you 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
