Who we are

LuxCSD provides Luxembourg’s financial community with services for settlement in EUR central bank money as well as with issuing and custody services for a wide variety of domestic and international securities. In 2020, LuxCSD received its CSDR licence (Central Securities Depositories Regulation) aiming to increase the safety and efficiency of securities settlement and settlement infrastructures in the EU. 

As a central securities depository (CSD), LuxCSD offers custodian banks and distributors across Europe excellent custody and value-added services as well as a highly efficient settlement process with access to many counterparties. Settlement of securities transactions in central bank money reduces risk for financial market participants.

LuxCSD fully supports dematerialised securities as these significantly reduce inefficiency, risk and cost for the financial services sector. In addition, LuxCSD advises issuers who are in the process of dematerialising their physical securities.
