At the Heart of Europe's Financial Future
In the ever-evolving landscape of global finance, Luxembourg has firmly established itself as a leading hub for Banking & Capital Markets. With its strategic location, robust regulatory framework, and deep pool of international expertise, the Grand Duchy offers a unique gateway for institutions looking to grow, innovate, and connect across Europe and beyond.
Home to 115+ credit institutions and a thriving ecosystem of investment firms, asset managers, and market infrastructure players, Luxembourg combines the stability of a mature financial center with the agility of a forward-thinking jurisdiction. Its alignment with EU directives, commitment to sustainable finance, and openness to digital transformation make it a jurisdiction of choice for banking, capital markets & payment players.
Banking is entering an era where value creation will depend as much on resilience, talent and technology as on traditional financial expertise. Looking beyond immediate regulatory requirements is essential for banks seeking to remain relevant, trusted, and future ready.
Luxembourg is the world's second-largest fund domicile, and its asset servicing ecosystem is at the heart of that success. We help ASPs navigate custody, administration, depositary obligations, and the evolving regulatory framework that governs them.
Luxembourg is a leading European capital markets hub, connecting issuers and investors across equity and debt markets. We help businesses navigate financing strategy, deal readiness, regulatory requirements, prospectus preparation, due diligence, and execution.
Luxembourg is a leading European hub for licensed payment and e‑money institutions, as well as digital asset players, attracting firms that need a credible regulatory passport to operate across the EU. We help them navigate CSSF licensing, PSD3/PSR compliance, AML obligations, and operational setup.
Luxembourg's securitisation framework — anchored by the 2004 Securitisation Law — makes it one of the most attractive jurisdictions in Europe for structuring securitisation vehicles. We support originators, arrangers, and servicers across legal, tax, audit, and advisory dimensions.
In the current challenging landscape, many banks face increasing difficulties in maintaining efficient non-core support functions. Managed Services offer a strategic solution to these challenges, providing not only cost reduction but also improved business continuity and flexibility.
Welcome to our "The Payments Coffee Break'', during which Philippe Förster, PwC EMI/PI Leader, invites a mix of market players and PwC experts to discuss a current hot topic for the Payments ecosystem, or trends that we observe and expect to pick up the pace in the near future.
