LuxTrust

What LuxTrust does

LuxTrust S.A. is a Luxembourg-based digital identity and trust services provider founded in 2005 and headquartered in Capellen, operating with 11-50 employees. As a certification authority and qualified trust service provider under European regulations including eIDAS, PSD2, GDPR, and ETSI, the company issues legally recognized electronic identities and qualified electronic signatures for both individuals and professionals across Luxembourg. Its product portfolio centers on LuxTrust Mobile, a mobile-first authentication application supporting App2App integration with banking applications, QR code scanning, and push notification authentication, supplemented by professional hardware devices (Scan, SmartCard) for enterprise and high-security use cases. The company discontinued its legacy Token hardware OTP product on December 31, 2024, completing a mobile-first transition.

LuxTrust's underlying technology combines proprietary mobile authentication modes with integration points across partner ecosystems, including Luxembourg banking applications, the national guichet.lu public administration portal, and enterprise client environments in banking, insurance, healthcare, legal/notary, accounting/audit, public services, and investment fund sectors. Professional solutions include client identification (KYC), COSI qualified electronic signatures, electronic document archiving, transaction timestamping, PSD2 compliance tools, SSL certificate issuance, and the IDKEEP personal-data and consent management platform. The company operates as a regulated certificate authority with disclosed technical standards (ETSI), positioning itself as a national-level trust infrastructure rather than a horizontal SaaS provider.

Commercially, LuxTrust generates revenue through recurring subscriptions to digital identity products for individuals and bundled professional solutions sold to enterprises. The LuxTrust Mobile app is offered as a free download (freemium), with monetization attached to the underlying identity subscriptions. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, particularly for enterprise solutions. Distribution combines a self-serve website channel (luxtrust.lu), direct enterprise sales for professional services, OEM/embedded integration via partner websites and banking apps, and mobile app store distribution. LuxTrust has a wholly owned subsidiary, LuxTrust Development S.A., which shares board leadership with the parent entity.
