Lightyear has 3 licences on record with Wikilix, issued by 2 authorities across 2 jurisdictions. 3 of them were issued by tier-1 or tier-2 authorities — the regimes with the strictest capital, reporting and client-money rules. None has yet been located on an issuing authority’s own register, so every entry here should be read as claimed rather than confirmed.
2 licences come from authorities classed as offshore. An offshore regime can be a legitimate registration, but it typically carries lower capital requirements and no compensation scheme.
The registers print these licences under Lightyear U.K. Ltd, Lightyear Europe AS. Searching a register for the trading brand alone may return nothing — use the name above.
