The Financial Technology Transfer
Agency, better known as the ATTF, is fully integrated
in the institutional infrastructure of the Luxembourg
financial market. It is fully committed to abiding by
the ethical
code of the banking industry drawn up during the
general meetings of the "Association des Banques
et Banquiers, Luxembourg" (ABBL,
Luxembourg Banker's Association) of April 26, 2005.
The ATTF is a member of the European
Bank Training Network (EBTN). As such, it is fully

The ATTF undertakes to respect both the above codes
and to react appropriately as and when it deems this
to be valid or necessary.
The ATTF is a banking and financial training and consulting
institution operating in cooperation with countries
with emerging or transitional economies. As such, it
is fully committed to a number of action principles
and values.
Action Principles
- The Agency takes as its reference shareholder, the
State of Luxembourg itself. Its own actions are inspired,
ipso facto, by the fundamental principles guiding
the policy of the government of the Grand Duchy. The
State of Luxembourg is a founder member of the European
Union. Thus, the Agency is committed to the aims defined
by the European Union, and respects the intrinsic
values incorporated therein.
- The Agency's is clearly committed to contributing
to long-term development that ensures a healthy balance
between human, social and economic requirements.
- The Agency is convinced that a strong and healthy
banking and financial system with irreproachable ethics
is a key factor in such long-term development. It
is therefore concerned to assist in building and implementing
such a system and keeps this factor permanently in
mind.
- The Agency is convinced of the significance of the
social responsibility of the financial and banking
institutions in the fight against all aspects of international
crime.
- The Agency's cooperation activity is even handed
in the contribution it makes to the banking and financial
community in all the countries with which it works:
it does not favour any one in preference to any other.
- The Agency places great emphasis on the quality
of the services it offers and this forms the foundation
of its activities, being a prime factor in determining
its actions and priorities, and taking into account
the operational resources available.
- The Agency places the people and the context in
which they are evolving at the centre of its action,
and takes into account relevant differences in culture
and experience.
- The Agency requires an exceptionally high degree
of professionalism from its experts, both in terms
of the technical and the teaching expertise. Consultants
are chosen for their professional integrity, their
open-mindedness towards others and towards the world,
as well as for their human qualities.
- The Agency requires that the members of its staff
carry out their functions in the spirit of this Charter.
