In other words, a Discount Rate Agreement (FRA) is a short-term, tailored and agreed-upon financial futures contract. A transaction fra is a contract between two parties for the exchange of payments on a deposit, the notional amount, which must be determined later on the basis of a short-term interest rate called the benchmark rate over a predetermined period. FRA transactions are introduced as a hedge against changes in interest rates. The buyer of the contract blocks the interest rate to protect against an interest rate hike, while the seller protects against a possible drop in interest rates. At maturity, no funds exchange hands; On the contrary, the difference between the contractual interest rate and the market interest rate is exchanged. The purchaser of the contract is paid when the published reference rate is higher than the fixed rate agreed by contract and the buyer pays the seller if the published reference rate is lower than the fixed rate agreed by contract. A company trying to guard against a possible interest rate hike would buy FRAs, while a company seeking interest coverage against a possible interest rate cut would sell FRAs. As noted above, the amount of compensation is paid in advance (at the beginning of the term of the contract), while interbank rates, such as LIBOR or EURIBOR, apply to late interest transactions (at the end of the repayment period). To account for this, it is necessary to discount the difference in interest rates using the offset rate as a discount rate. The settlement amount is therefore calculated as the present value of the interest rate difference: a forward interest rate contract (FRA) is an over-the-counter contract settled in cash between two counterparties, in which the buyer lends a fictitious amount at a fixed rate (interest rate fra) and for a fixed period from an agreed date in the future (and the seller lends). An FRA is basically a loan to leave in advance, but without the exchange of capital. The nominal amount is used simply to calculate interest payments.

By allowing market participants to act today at an interest rate that will be effective at a later stage, CSA allows them to guarantee their commitment to interest in future commitments.
