Coupon Payment

A term referring to the periodic interest paid to investors of fixed income securities. Originated from early certificates of fixed income securities, which often came with detachable “coupons” that investors presented to issuers in order to receive interest payments. For this reason, fixed income securities that do not pay interest are often called zero-coupon bonds.
