Lightyear - an alternative to Interactive Brokers
Lightyear is an investment platform established in Estonia. Lightyear’s goal is to make investing easy, convenient and affordable for retail investors. When investing in foreign shares and ETFs, the usual choice is to use your home bank, but they usually have high transaction fees and fees for holding shares.
Another popular option is to open an Interactive Brokers account. With them, opening an account is difficult, the user experience is poor, and transaction fees are significantly lower, but still exist. So, for a beginner investor who does not want to use leverage or trade options, Lightyear is a very reasonable choice.
