how it works

Cross-currency swaps let businesses manage both currency and interest rate risks. You can convert your loan interest payments and principal into different currencies, allowing you to access more favourable interest rates compared to borrowing directly in foreign currencies.

Here is what a cross-currency swap could look like.

how it works

Interest rate swaps let businesses change the type of interest on loan payments. For instance, if you are paying a floating interest rate, you can swap it for a fixed interest rate for more certainty. This may be suitable for companies with large loans or debts, or corporations looking to manage interest rate exposures.
