plain vanilla swap

A typical interest-rate swap that involves one counterparty’s paying a fixed interest rate while the other assumes a floating interest rate based on the amount of the principal of the underlying debt.

• The underlying debt, called the “notional” amount of the swap, does not change hands — only the interest payments are exchanged.

— Also termed generic swap.
