A foreign exchange interest rate/currency swap option refers to a practice whereby the customer, upon the payment of an option premium, has the right to decide whether the interest rate swap (currency swap) should take effect on a future date (European options) or in a future period of time (American options), in order to avoid losses but gain from the interest rates or exchange rates volatility that may arise from a loan (or an investment). In fact, this product is an option trade of foreign exchange interest rate swaps (or currency swaps).
