London, 8 March 2026 — Trade Treasury Payments (TTP) has announced a partnership with Stand4 Socks following its International Women’s Day event in London, held in collaboration with BAFT’s (Bankers Association for Finance and Trade) Women in Transaction Banking initiative.

As part of the partnership, TTP gifted a pair of Stand4 Socks to every attendee at the conference, reinforcing a shared commitment to social impact alongside industry dialogue.

Stand4 Socks operates on a Buy One = Give One model, for every pair purchased, another pair is donated to someone in need. To date, the company has donated more than 850,000 pairs of socks globally, with many of these supporting women across the UK living in safe houses and recovering from domestic violence, where warm clothing, such as socks, is one of the most requested items.

The partnership was launched during the BAFT and TTP International Women’s Day programme on Thursday, 5 March, which brought together senior leaders across payments, trade finance, treasury, and financial technology to discuss the future of cross-border finance and the role of women in shaping the sector.

Throughout the day, speakers and participants explored themes including the evolution of cross-border payments infrastructure, the impact of automation and AI in treasury functions, public-private cooperation in export finance, and the challenges women continue to face when founding and scaling fintech ventures.

Eleanor Hill, Treasury Editor at TTP, said, “Progress is never guaranteed; it has to be pushed forward by people who choose to speak up, challenge what isn’t right and create space for others to be heard. Partnering with Stand4 Socks allowed us to extend the spirit of this week’s event beyond the room and support women who need it most.”

Joy Macknight, Transaction Banking and Payments Editor at TTP, said, “Partnering with Stand4 Socks allowed us to extend the spirit of the event beyond the room and support women living in safe houses across the UK, where simple essentials like warm socks are often among the most needed items.”

Stand4 Socks is recognised as the highest-scoring sock B Corp globally and the highest-rated sock brand on Trustpilot in Europe, reflecting its focus on combining commercial success with measurable social impact.

Josh Turner, Founder of Stand4 Socks, said, “Stand4 Socks exists to prove that business can create real change. For every pair sold, we donate a pair to someone experiencing homelessness, turning an everyday product into something that delivers warmth, dignity, and impact.”

The event featured keynote remarks from Nicole Sandler of Ubyx alongside panels and discussions with leaders from organisations including FIS, SWIFT, Digital Trade Works, Sullivan and SAP Fioneer.

Together, the programme underscored the growing role women are playing in shaping the next generation of financial infrastructure, from real-time payments and AI-driven treasury systems to the digital transformation of global trade.
