What is an interest rate swap?

For general commercial companies an interest rate swap agreement may have been entered into as part of the interest element of loan that was taken out with a bank.

The interest rate swaps are complex financial products whereby the interest rate is swapped from a variable rate of interest based on interest rate changes which can either be set by the BoE (Bank of England) or LIBOR (London Inter Bank Offered Rate) to a fixed rate of interest.

The agreement is set up that if LIBOR or BoE rates increase then you will pay less interest, however if the interest rate goes down then you will pay more.  Since 2008 when interest rates plummeted this had an adverse effect to the various interest rate swap agreements.

If your company has been involved in an interest rate swap or you have been charged a large exit fee to cancel the agreement, then there may be an element of financial mis-selling whereby your company may be entitled to compensation.
