Abstract
Credit Support Annexes (CSAs) that allow multiple currencies as collateral give rise to a collateral choice option in discounting. Numerical efficiency for valuing this optionality is key and first-order approximations have been proposed previously. In this paper, for the case of two currencies, we propose more accurate schemes that are still very efficient.
