Investopedia explains 'Corporate Trade Payment (CTP)'

The CTP system was discontinued in 1996. It was replaced by the corporate trade exchange (CTX) system, which provided for easier tracking of payments. One of the problems with the CTP system was its inability to provide adequate informational records with each payment, a problem rectified with the CTX system.
