Contingent Premium Swaption

A contract conferring the right to buy or to sell a swap on fixed terms. As with any contingent premium option, the holder pays a premium only if the option is in the money at the time of exercise or expiration. Because of the contingent premium feature, the premium will exceed the premium on a standard swaption. See also Contingent Premium Option (diagram).
