Standard confirmation messages are available for Forward Rate Agreements, Single and Cross Currency Interest Rate Swaps, Interest Rate Resets and Payment Advices, Interest Rate Derivative Termination and Recouponing. Notification messages take place at allocation level. Events such as novations and terminations can also be communicated.
