Lightyear, the UK- and EU-regulated investment platform, has raised $23 million in Series B funding, coinciding with its milestone of surpassing $1 billion in customer assets under management. The round fuels the company’s next phase of growth, including the launch of AI-powered market intelligence tools and expansion into Denmark, Sweden, and Bulgaria.
Known for its commission-free access to global stocks, ETFs, and high-yield interest on uninvested cash, Lightyear now plans to enhance its product suite with advanced AI features that deliver real-time insights and improved decision-making for investors. The company will also roll out a refreshed visual identity reflecting its modern approach to accessible, secure investing.
With regulatory oversight from the FCA in the UK and EFSA in Europe, Lightyear continues to position itself as a leading fintech platform redefining how Europeans invest, save, and grow wealth.
