Interest rate swap - An agreement between two counterparties to exchange cash on a notional principal sum which is not exchanged. The most common structure is the fixed-for-floating swap in which one counterparty agrees to pay a rate over the term of the swap in exchange for a floating-rate payment by the other counterparty.
A binding agreement between counterparties to exchange periodic interest payments on some predetermined dollar principal, which is called the notional principal amount. For example, one party will pay fixed and receive variable.
An arrangement in which two parties agree to exchange periodic interest payments, at agreed intervals, over an agreed period, but without any principal being paid. The most common and simplest deal involves one party paying a fixed rate of interest and the other paying a floating rate. IRSs are used for hedging, speculation or arbitrage.
