A "Non-Disclosure Agreement" ("NDA") - also called "Confidentiality letter" - refers to a legally-binding document between at least two parties whereby the parties undertake not to disclose some information designated as confidential. Such a document is frequently signed between a bank and its client before any transaction, such as a loan, Bond or M&A operation.
