Perfect
I have been using Lightyear for 3+ years and it's been a great experience. I will continue to use it as my main investment platform going forward.
I have used:
1. TBSZ (Hungarian tax advantage account)
2. MMFs
3. ETFs
4. Individual stock investments
Cannot recommend it enough!

Seemed like a good platform but its impossible to get a response from customer service. I needed them to update the TBSZ agreement with the updated address before signing unfortunately they were not able to do that after multiple follow-ups. They could only send automatic e-mails to fund my account.
Update: After posting this review, Lightyear escalated the issue and updated my TBSZ agreement promptly.

customer service review - good experience
I had a problem with giving detailed information about the account holder (me), I could not correct a specific data on the platform due to technical issues. The customer service has helped me efficiently and swiftly in a kind tone. Good experience.

Easy to trade
So far, so good. I started using it about a month ago. The interface is user-friendly, which makes trading super easy. I can also open a TBSZ—big thumbs up for that!
