Interest rate cover: via SWAP

A customer has the following loan:

  • Sum: €3 million
  • Term: 5 years
  • Interest rate: 12-month Euribor + 1.00%
  • Amortisation: Single on maturity


In this situation, the customer does not know the financial costs it will have to meet. These costs will depend on 12-month Euribor over the next few years and 1% will be added to that figure.

So:

12-month Euribor Cost to customer WITHOUT coverage (1% margin)
Today 2,40% 3,40%
In 1 year 3,40% 4,40%
In 2 years 4,60% 5,60%
In 3 years 5,50% 6,50%
In 4 years 5,00% 6,00%

Caja Navarra suggests the following coverage operation:

  • Sum: €3 million
  • Term: 5 years
  • Amortisation: Single on maturity
  • Customer receives/ Caja Navarra pays: 12-month Euribor
  • Customer pays/ Caja Navarra receives: Fixed Rate 3.70% 
  • Settlement: Yearly


On each date of payment, the net position between the interests to pay and interests to receive is settled, which for the customer will be:

  • If 12-month Euribor > Fixed rate: The customer receives the difference.
  • If 12-month Euribor < Fixed rate: The customer pays the difference.


For example:

12-month Euribor SWAP settlement 3.70% Cost to customer WITH coverage (*)
2,40% -1,30% 4,70%
3,40% -0,30% 4,70%
4,60% 0,90% 4,70%
5,50% 1,80% 4,70%
5,00% 1,30% 4,70%
