Interest Rate Swaps

With the focus on providing complete interest rate risk management solutions, we offer a full suite of interest rate derivative products.

Under an interest rate swap, it is an obligation for the counterparties to pay or receive interest, either fixed or floating as per the agreed terms, on an agreed amount (notional) in the same currency.

Currency Swaps

Our Risk Management solution also comprises various currency swaps to hedge interest rate and the currency risks simultaneously. For example, a client who has taken a EUR loan linked to EUR EURIBOR can eliminate the floating EURIBOR risk and the currency risk due to movement in the EUR/USD by doing a EUR-USD full currency swap.

Options

ICICI Bank offers a vast range of Option products to cater to the diverse risk management requirements of its clients. Our product range varies from simple options to structured products, enabling us to provide customisable and effective Currency Risk Management solution to our clients.
