Successfully Opening a Bank Account in Luxembourg
Opening a bank account in Luxembourg has become a genuine challenge. Strict procedures, repeated requests, misunderstandings… Even solid and legitimate projects often face unexpected hurdles simply because they do not fully understand what banks expect.
At CMLaw, we support entrepreneurs, SMEs and investors confronted with these issues every day. We understand both the realities businesses face and the stringent obligations imposed on banks and their compliance officers. This dual perspective is what led us to create The Entrepreneur’s Guide 2025.
A Clear, Practical and Action-Driven Tool
This guide is designed to help businesses:
- structure a clear and coherent application
- understand the language and expectations of banks,
- effectively document their activity and financial flows,
- anticipate KYC requirements,
- avoid unnecessary refusals and save valuable time.
Most banking refusals are not related to a client’s actual risk, but to a lack of clarity or consistency in the documentation. This guide aims precisely to eliminate those obstacles.
Who Is It For?
- Entrepreneurs and company founders
- SMEs and growing businesses
- Investors and holding structures
- International companies establishing operations in Luxembourg
- Anyone facing a complex account-opening process
