Swap ya sarafu (au swap ya sarafu mbalimbali) ni makubaliano ya kubadilishana fedha za kigeni kati ya pande mbili, ambapo kiasi fulani cha sarafu moja hubadilishwa kwa sarafu nyingine, na baada ya muda uliowekwa, kila upande hurudisha kiasi kilichobadilishwa cha awali. Swap za sarafu zinaweza kukubaliwa kwa muda mbalimbali wa kukomaa, hadi miaka 30. Tofauti na mkopo wa back-to-back, swap ya sarafu haichukuliwi kuwa mkopo kwa mujibu wa sheria za uhasibu za Marekani, hivyo haionyeshwi katika mizania ya kampuni.

A currency swap (or cross currency swap) is a foreign exchange agreement between two parties to exchange a given amount of one currency for another and, after a specified period of time, to give back the original amounts swapped. Currency swaps can be negotiated for a variety of maturities of up to 30 years. Unlike a back-to-back loan, a currency swap is not considered to be a loan by United States accounting laws and thus it is not reflected on a company's balance sheet.

Serikali ya Marekani, wakati wa mgogoro wa sasa wa kifedha, kupitia Benki Kuu ya Marekani (Federal Reserve), imetoa idhini ya kutoa pengine trilioni za dola kwa benki za dunia na taasisi za kifedha, kwa kuzipa benki kuu za nchi mbalimbali fedha endapo zitapenda kutumia mbinu hii ya "si mkopo, nje ya mizania ya Marekani".

The US government, during the current financial crisis has via the Federal Reserve given the go ahead to providing possibly trillions of dollars to the world banks and financial entities by funding central banks around the world should they wish to call on this "non loan, off the US balance sheet" technique.

Athari kwa usambazaji wa fedha wa Marekani na mfumuko halisi wa bei itakuwa mbaya sana.

The impact on the US money supply and real inflation will be devastating.
