The aim of the fronting bank structure is to separate the swap counter-party credit risk from the provision of the swap itself by involving (potentially) two banks rather than one in providing the swap to the Contractor. The fronting bank enters into a swap with the Contractor and a back-to-back swap with the second bank, to isolate the latter from the Contractor's credit risk, i.e. the success or failure of the project. It is thus possible to introduce greater competition into both the provision of the swap and to the cost of purchasing credit cover on the swap (the swap credit margin) and, moreover, potentially also to solve the issue of termination payments on swaps necessarily including the swap credit margins foregone by termination.
