A question specific to the use of 3D Secure and LuxTrust.
-
It’s simple, convenient and free of charge! LuxTrust Mobile is the digital counterpart of your physical Token which lets you enjoy greater mobility.
Wait for an SMS from LuxTrust to complete the activation
- LuxTrust will now send you an SMS containing a link to finalise the activation. It can take up to 360 minutes to receive it. In the meantime, you can exit the app.
- When you receive the SMS, click on the link. The LuxTrust Mobile app will open automatically.
- Please, do not share this SMS with anyone. LuxTrust will never ask you to share your credentials by clicking on this link.
-
It’s very easy to use LuxTrust Mobile. Verify your identity as usual with your LuxTrust user ID and password on the retailer’s site (or any other site that requires a LuxTrust authentication). Once your data have been verified, LuxTrust sends a notification to your mobile phone so you can complete the authentication process with your digital fingerprint or facial recognition. It will also be possible to scan a Quick Response Code (QR Code) and generate a one-time password (OTP) using your digital fingerprint.
-
Yes, 3D Secure is what we call a “strong authentication”, meaning an authentication that meets strong security criteria, as recommended by the second European directive on payment services for the domestic market (PSD2). This principle became mandatory for all remote electronic payments in 2018 and is applied to all payment card transactions since 2021. It ensures that a fraudster who has been able to steal a security feature (e.g. your card number) will be prevented from making transactions with your cards. For example: if your cards or your card data were to fall into the wrong hands, it would be impossible to make a transaction using the security data from your payment cards without having your LuxTrust security data or your biometric data. If a purchase is made without a strong 3D Secure authentication, you cannot be held liable for fraud, but only the party which requested or authorised such a purchase without 3D Secure.
-
If you have an S-Net agreement, 3D Secure is automatically activated with your LuxTrust certificate used for your S-Net connection (no later than 24 hours after you log on for the first time). Once this activation has been completed, 3D Secure will be activated directly for any new card ordered or when a card needs to be replaced (renewal on expiry or following loss or theft).
If you use several certificates (LuxTrust Token or Mobile) to connect to S-Net, please note that only one certificate can be linked per card. You can check in S-Net which LuxTrust certificate is linked to your card. Log on to S-Net, go to “Settings – Payment Cards – Payment Settings” and, if applicable, change your selection by following the on-screen instructions.
To log on to S-Net Mobile, see the “Settings – Card Management – Payment Settings” section.
-
When you confirm your online purchase with your debit or credit card, you will be redirected to the 3D Secure authentication site where you can check the details of your purchase (merchant, amount, currency). Select your LuxTrust device and authenticate yourself with your LuxTrust security data or approve the transaction via your LuxTrust Mobile app. Once you have authenticated yourself, a confirmation message will be displayed and you will be redirected to the merchant's website or app. The payment will be finalised and your purchase confirmed by your merchant.
-
You do not know the merchant
If you do not know the merchant and you do not believe that you have made such a purchase, please refuse the authentication in LuxTrust Mobile. If you receive a call and you are asked to authenticate a payment or transaction via LuxTrust Mobile, please do not follow such instructions, but hang up and immediately call Spuerkeess Direct on (+352) 4015-1.
You know the merchant
If you know the merchant and you have a business relationship with them (e.g. subscription, online booking), then it is an authentication that is initiated directly by the merchant who is asking you to approve it – to finalise or extend a subscription, for example. This allows you to confirm the transaction, without having to take any further steps. Please only approve such transactions if they seem trustworthy and correct to you.
Contactless cards
-
In Luxembourg, you can make contactless payments for any amount. For payments of less than EUR 50, you don’t need to enter your PIN. For payments of EUR 50 and above, or when you have exceeded a total of EUR 150 since the last time you entered your PIN, you will be asked to enter your PIN in order to approve the purchase. For security purposes and on random intervals, it may occur from time to time that you may still be asked to enter you PIN to approve a purchase. These limits are valid in Luxembourg and vary from country to country.
