Most bonds pay interest semiannually, meaning bondholders receive two payments per year. However, some bonds pay interest yearly or quarterly, depending on the bond’s terms. The exact dates when these interest payments are made are specified on the bond certificate, ensuring clarity for investors. These periodic payments are called coupon payments, and they represent the interest paid to bondholders at each interval.
