Currently we support brokers and banks like LHV, Shareworks, Interactive Brokers, Swedbank, Fidelity, Interactive Investor and Hargreaves Lansdown. But there’s more to come — so if your Wise stock is with a provider not listed here, please get in touch and let us know! ### How do I transfer my stock? It’s really simple! First, sign up to Lightyear by downloading our app then navigate to Settings in the Lightyear app then select "Transfer stocks to us". You'll then need to enter a few small details so that we can send the correct stock transfer guide to you. All you need to do then is follow our guide to initiate a stock transfer from your current broker and then we’ll take over for the rest! ### How long does a stock transfer take? There’s only a few steps needed from your side to initiate a stock transfer. Unfortunately, currently this is still a manual process and requires old legacy providers to act — which means the transfer might take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks to hit your Lightyear account, depending on the broker it currently sits with. We’ll keep you posted throughout the process via notifications. ### What are the fees associated? We don’t charge you anything to transfer your stock over. But beware of stock transfer fees from your current broker — they might ask you to pay or sell some of the stock to cover for the transfer fee. After your Wise stock is in Lightyear, our usual pricing will apply. Hint: it’s transparent and user-friendly.
