In a payer swap one pays the fixed rate and receives floating; in a receiver swap one receives fixed and pays floating. A payer gains when rates rise: it is short duration, like a borrower who has fixed its rate, or like a short position in a bond.

Example 9.3 (One year of the company’s swap)
The swap starts on 29 September 2026. On 29 September 2027 the company pays and receives the overnight rate compounded over those 365 days, whatever it turns out to be; on its loan it pays the same compounded rate plus 1.5%. The floating payments cancel, and its cost is fixed.
