About the Mentorship Program
The BAFT Women in Transaction Banking Mentorship Program is an exciting cross-institution initiative designed to support the professional development of individuals in the transaction banking industry. Open to full-time employees of banks or solutions providers, the program offers two unique formats: a traditional mentorship program, where experienced professionals guide mentees in career development; and a reverse mentorship program, where senior leaders learn from the perspectives and insights of junior professionals. Mentors and Mentees, who can be women or men, come from different institutions, fostering diverse connections and fresh perspectives.
The next cohort of the BAFT WTB Mentorship Program will run from January 1 – September 30, 2026.
Application to participate will be accepted from November 4 – December 21, 2025.
Testimonials
“Meeting with my mentor and hearing there input and recommended advice has really encouraged and boosted my confidence. I feel I can be open and honest with them. It is great having a mentor that also wants to see you grow but is not forcing you down a specific path. Instead, they are letting you discover the career path that’s best for you and guiding you. I love how the mentor and mentee can set their own pace of their mentorship experience. Due to this nothing feels forced or pressured which is great!”
– Mentee, BAFT WTB Mentorship Program
“This program in fact exceeded my expectations because the established relationship we both nurtured was based on the understanding that both parties were to learn from each other as we share the same seniority in our industries but faced somehow different cultural, demographic and business frameworks. This was an exchange of mutually strong, ambitious and caring individuals.”
– Mentor, BAFT WTB Mentorship Program
“My mentor was able to share her experiences openly and to provide objective advice. She is also a full time working mum and has been able to discuss also wider elements like juggling motherhood, career and specific life events that impact those things.”
