Nomura Bank (Luxembourg) S.A.

Nomura Bank (Luxembourg) S.A. is a Luxembourg-domiciled credit institution within the Nomura Group that focuses on securities services and fund-related banking rather than mass-market retail. The bank is supervised by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF) under Luxembourg and EU banking rules, and it files statutory financial statements in Luxembourg. Its core activities typically include depositary services for UCITS and alternative investment funds, global custody and safekeeping, cash and foreign exchange services linked to portfolio operations, and settlement across major markets via standard international networks. The client base is primarily institutional and professional (asset managers, fund promoters, and other financial intermediaries), with onboarding subject to full AML/KYC and regulatory classifications under MiFID II. As with other Luxembourg banks, eligible cash deposits are protected by the Fonds de garantie des dépôts Luxembourg (generally up to EUR 100,000 per depositor, per bank), while investor-compensation rules may apply in limited cases; assets held in custody are typically segregated and remain outside the bank’s balance sheet but are not covered by the deposit guarantee. Pricing, service levels, and operational cut-offs are contractual and tailored, and information on minimums, account eligibility, and fee schedules is not broadly published for the public retail market. Cross-border provision of services follows EU passporting and local law constraints, and sanctions, tax, and market infrastructure rules can affect availability and execution in certain jurisdictions. Prospective institutional clients should review the bank’s terms, service descriptions, and the latest audited financials, and confirm how depositary oversight, sub-custodian selection, cash controls, and reporting are handled in their specific structure.
