Yes, your new card will work as soon as you receive it.

Once you have used your new card for the first time, your old card will automatically be blocked and we strongly recommend to destroy it as soon as possible.

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.

In accordance with the 2nd Payment Services Directive (PSD2), all online payments are subject to strong authentication of the payer (cardholder). The aim is to protect cardholders against fraudulent use of their payment cards on the Internet by introducing additional security for online purchases.

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. 

For very low-risk purchases (e.g. from reputable merchants or for low amounts), Spuerkeess or the merchant provider may exempt you from strong 3D Secure authentication. Do not worry, your payment’s security remains the responsibility of the party that exempted you from 3D Secure authentication. 

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.

No, you can use it to make all the payments you usually make. You decide the type of payment you want to make: pay contactless or insert your card, or make an online purchase with the security data registered on your card and 3D Secure.
