- First-Time Login with LuxTrust Mobile (if you don't have a certificate yet): First, log in to webbanking.bgl.lu to order your LuxTrust Mobile certificate. You will receive login details via text message. Download the LuxTrust Mobile app on your smartphone to activate these details. Finally, complete your account activation on webbanking.bgl.lu.
