Rather than the basic fixed-for-floating interest rate swap, there are as well zero-coupon-for-floating rate swaps where fixed rate payer makes only one zero-coupon payment at the time of maturity on notional value.  There exist floating-for-floating rate swaps where each side is tied to the different floating rate index or a dissimilar frequency of the same index.  Currency swaps is not required to be fixed-for-fixed; floating-for-floating and fixed-for-floating rate currency swaps are repeatedly arranged.  Additionally, both currency and interest rate swaps can be non-amortizing as well as amortizing.
