| BAFT | The Bankers Association for Finance and Trade, which was
started in 1921 with a meeting of ten bankers at the Hotel Cleveland, is a
financial membership organization made up of United States and non-US banks and
institutions. BAFT’s purpose is to act as a policy and advocacy body within the
national and international financial system – working with global capital
markets, international payment businesses, trade associations, and various
governmental bodies. In 2002, the BAFT became an affiliate of the American Bankers
Association. |
