How does an interest rate swap work?

An interest rate swap is a risk management product that can assist a business in the management of cash flows. Interest Rate Swaps usually involve an agreement to exchange floating rate interest payments for fixed interest rate payments or vice versa, based on a notional principal amount, over an agreed period of time. Payment dates can be specified to meet individual business requirements.

How can I ensure my business financial position is not compromised when interest rates move?

Interest rate hedging products involve swaps, options or a combination of both that provide the ability to change payments related to borrowings and loans. The Client Risk Solutions business can tailor a customised solution to help you.
