Frequently Asked Questions

A cross currency swap is an over-the-counter (OTC) derivative in the form of an agreement between two parties to exchange interest payments and principal in two different currencies.

If an underlying interest rate obligation poses a risk to your firm, or if it is more advantageous to switch cash flows to a different currency, you can swap the entire cash flow, including the principal.

Yes, it is possible. In a cross currency swap, interest payments and principal in one currency are exchanged for principal and interest payments in a different currency. Interest payments are exchanged at fixed intervals over the term of the contract.

Principal can be exchanged only at the beginning of the term, only at the end of the term or both at the beginning and end of the term. Although less commonly used, there are also cross-currency swaps where only cash flows are exchanged between the two currencies with no exchange of principal.
