Quanto Swap

A dual swap combining both a currency and interest rate transaction.

Investopedia Commentary

The purpose behind a Quanto Swap is to minimize foreign exchange risk. This is done by fixing the exchange rate and interest rate at the same time.

This is also referred to as a differential swap.
