MTF stands for Margin Trading Facility, a service offered by stockbrokers that allows investors to buy stocks by paying only a part of the total value (the margin). The broker funds the remaining amount. It's essentially leveraged buying—you can take larger positions than your cash balance allows. This facility is mostly used by active traders looking to take advantage of short-term price movements. However, since you're borrowing money, interest is charged on the borrowed amount until it's repaid.
