Coupon
Coupon
Coupon, in finance, is the stated interest rate of a fixed-income security. If a bond is issued with a stated rate of 5 percent, it's said to have a 5 percent coupon. The term is derived from the usage of tear-off coupons with paper bonds; the bondholder would have to remove and redeem the coupon to receive the periodic interest payment.
