For too long investors have been getting the short end of the stick. Limited access to markets combined with high fees have put ordinary investors at a disadvantage.

We’re here to change that.

Lightyear is a simple and approachable way to invest your money globally without unnecessary barriers or fees. Founded in October 2020 by Martin Sokk and Mihkel Aamer, both early Wise employees, Lightyear has offices in London, UK and Tallinn, Estonia.

We want to help empower our customers and propel them forward in their financial lives by offering them access to global markets, multi-currency accounts and low trading fees.
