Counterparty. In any financial contract, the persons or institutions entering the contract on the opposite sides of the transaction are called the counterparties.

Similarly, the counterparties in financial transactions known as forwards or swaps are the banks or corporations that make deals between themselves to protect future cash flows or currency values.
