What LuxembourgMedia Is
LuxembourgMedia.com is an independent directory and editorial platform dedicated to Luxembourg's financial sector. We publish structured profiles of CSSF-supervised entities — banks, investment firms, fund managers, payment institutions, and more — alongside editorial guides designed to help expats, cross-border workers, and businesses make sense of Luxembourg's financial landscape.
We are not a regulator, not a financial adviser, and not a government body. We are an independent publisher that organises publicly available information into a format that is genuinely useful to people navigating the Luxembourg market in English.
Who Built It
LuxembourgMedia.com is operated by PublicVision Inc., a company incorporated in Ontario, Canada. The site was conceived, built, and is maintained under the direction of Rundong Li, PublicVision's director and the person responsible for the platform's editorial and technical decisions.
PublicVision builds information products in specialist markets where quality, structured data is hard to find for general audiences. Luxembourg's financial sector is precisely such a market: deep, internationally significant, and almost entirely undocumented in plain English for the people who actually need to understand it.
Why Luxembourg Needs This
Luxembourg punches far above its weight. With a population of roughly 670,000 residents and approximately 167,000 cross-border workers commuting daily from France, Germany, and Belgium, it is a small country running one of the world's most consequential financial systems. Luxembourg is the largest investment-fund domicile in the European Union — and the second largest globally, after the United States — hosting trillions of euros in fund assets and thousands of regulated entities.
Yet for years, if you arrived in Luxembourg as an expat, a newly hired compliance analyst, a foreign entrepreneur, or a cross-border worker trying to understand your options, finding reliable, structured, English-language information about the financial sector was genuinely difficult. The CSSF (Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier) publishes a public register of the entities it supervises, and that register is the authoritative source. But it is not designed for discovery, comparison, or contextual understanding. It tells you whether a firm is licensed; it does not explain what that firm does, how it fits into the broader market, or what the relevant regulations mean for someone dealing with it.
That gap is what LuxembourgMedia exists to fill.
What You Will Find on the Site
Entity Profiles The core of LuxembourgMedia is a directory of 3,417 CSSF-supervised entity profiles. Each profile draws on the CSSF's public supervised-entities register, the GLEIF LEI (Legal Entity Identifier) database — which is published under a CC0 open licence — and statistical context from STATEC, Luxembourg's national statistics institute. Profiles include structured data such as licensing category, legal identifiers, and contextual introductory text to help readers understand what type of entity they are looking at.
Editorial Guides Beyond the directory, we publish editorial guides covering topics relevant to our audience: understanding different CSSF licence categories, navigating banking options as a newcomer, how cross-border workers interact with Luxembourg's financial regulations, and similar subjects. These guides are written to be practical and accessible, not to replace professional advice.
Tools (Planned) We are building comparison and filtering tools to make the directory more interactive — for example, filtering entities by licence type or searching by legal identifier. These tools are not yet live. We will update this page when they are.
How the Content Is Produced
We believe in being transparent about how this platform works, because that transparency is part of what makes it trustworthy.
Data Sources All entity data originates from three public sources: the CSSF supervised-entities register, the GLEIF LEI database, and STATEC. We do not invent or estimate regulatory data. If a piece of information is not in those sources, it is not in our profiles.
AI-Assisted Writing Introductory text for entity profiles and portions of our editorial guides are generated with the assistance of AI (specifically, Anthropic's Claude API). We use AI because the scale of the directory — thousands of profiles — makes purely manual writing impractical. However, AI-generated content is passed through an automated validation pipeline and is subject to human review before publication. Our internal tracking shows a substantive flagged-content rate of approximately 0.06%, meaning the pipeline catches and corrects a small but real number of issues before they reach readers.
We are not claiming that AI-generated content is perfect. We are claiming that we take its limitations seriously and have built a process to manage them. If you spot an error, please contact us at corrections@luxembourgmedia.com.
Update Cadence Data is refreshed on a weekly automated cycle. This means the directory reflects recent changes to the CSSF register, but it is not real-time. There will always be a potential lag of up to one week, and errors can occur during processing. For decisions that depend on a firm's current regulatory status, always verify directly with the CSSF or the entity itself.
What We Are Not
A few things worth stating plainly:
- We are not affiliated with the CSSF, GLEIF, or STATEC. We use their publicly available data, but we have no formal relationship with any of these bodies, and they have not endorsed or reviewed our content.
- We are not a financial adviser. Nothing on LuxembourgMedia.com constitutes financial, legal, tax, or investment advice. If you need advice, speak to a qualified professional licensed to provide it.
- We do not have user accounts, a newsletter, or payment processing. The site does not collect personal data beyond what is described in our Privacy Policy.
- We are English-only for now. Luxembourg is a multilingual country, and we recognise that French, German, and Luxembourgish are all significant languages for the sector. English is our starting point because it is the primary working language of Luxembourg's international financial community and the language most underserved by existing resources. We may add other languages in future.
A Note on Affiliate Links
LuxembourgMedia is funded in part through affiliate partnerships. Some links on the site — particularly in guides covering financial products and services — are affiliate links through networks including Wise Partners (via Partnerize), Awin, Impact, and Skimlinks. If you click one of these links and take an action such as opening an account, we may receive a commission. This never affects which entities appear in our directory or how they are described; our directory content is based solely on regulatory data.
