Content Introduction:

An interest rate swap is an agreement between two parties in which one party pays a future payment to another party of which interest rate is decided at the present day. This is usually done when there is a difference between floating interest rate and fixed interest rate. If fixed interest rate is more than a floating interest rate, then party in agreement would like to pay principle amount with floating interest rate at the future date.
