Our story
Lightyear was founded by ex-TransferWise duo Martin Sokk and Mihkel Aamer to bring a global mindset to the European investment world.
Traditionally, if investors in Europe want access to international markets they are hit with hefty transaction and custody fees, but most notably, hidden foreign exchange fees. With their multi-currency accounts, where you can add, hold and invest in different currencies, Lightyear seamlessly bridges the gaps between international markets for customers.
Backed by the best in the business
Richard Branson, investor in Lightyear and founder of Virgin Group says: “For too long, financial markets have been overly complex with high barriers to entry and confusing jargon. Martin, Mihkel and the Lightyear team are lifting the lid on the world of investing – making it more transparent whilst empowering people through education – to choose the products which are right for them.”
