2025 BAFT MTLA explained: How a new framework is modernising trade lending
Trade lending between financial institutions has traditionally depended on structured agreements to operate efficiently. The BAFT Master Trade Loan Agreement (MTLA), first launched in 2014, was one such framework, aimed at streamlining interbank trade finance for practitioners.
While it served the industry well for a period, the evolving financial landscape eventually began to outpace the original document. The launch of the 2025 MTLA English Law version marks a timely and necessary update.
At the 2025 BAFT Europe Bank to Bank Forum in Amsterdam, Deepesh Patel, Editor at Trade Treasury Payments (TTP), sat down with Geoff Wynne, Partner at Sullivan, for a live podcast recording to explore what’s new, why it matters, and how this updated model better reflects cross-border finance as it stands today.
