The deutscher rahmenvertrag is the German master agreement, also known as the “DRV[1] or just the plain old “rahmenvertrag” (literally “framework agreement”). It is published by Bundesverband deutscher Banken and comes in at least three varieties, all governed by German law.

The DRV has a collateral annex the Besicherungsanhang für Variation Margin which, charmingly, translates as “safety attachment”.
