An interest rate swap (IRS) is a transaction in which two parties exchange interest with each other, using the same principal, at predetermined dates, for the entire term of the contract.

One counterparty pays a fixed rate and the other a variable rate (depending on a reference rate).

With the help of an interest rate SWAP you can change the variable interest rate with a fixed one. This way, you will know exactly the amount of interest expenses for the entire loan period.

In addition, this way you can protect yourself against rising interest rates

Depending on your company's needs, you can exchange fixed interest rates with variable interest rates.

So, if you have interest rate hikes, you have to pay lower interest rates than you already pay.

Given the possibility of adverse changes in interest rates, entering into such a transaction implies the existence of collateral (determined by interest rate volatility, the term of the transaction, etc.).

These are complex products covered by MiFID II for which specific documentation must be signed.
