Supported currencies
See what currencies you can use within the Monite API.
Currency codes
Currencies are specified using three-letter currency codes (ISO 4217 alpha-3). The number of decimals determines how to express the currency amounts in minor units.
| Code | Currency | Decimals |
|---|---|---|
| AUD | Australian dollar | 2 |
| BRL | Brazilian real | 2 |
| CAD | Canadian dollar | 2 |
| CHF | Swiss franc | 2 |
| CNY | Chinese yuan | 2 |
| EUR | Euro | 2 |
| GBP | Pound sterling | 2 |
| HKD | Hong Kong dollar | 2 |
| INR | Indian rupee | 2 |
| JPY | Japanese yen | 0 |
| KES | Kenyan shilling | 2 |
| KRW | South-Korean won | 0 |
| MXN | Mexican peso | 2 |
| NOK | Norwegian krone | 2 |
| NZD | New Zealand dollar | 2 |
| RUB | Russian ruble | 2 |
| SEK | Swedish krone | 2 |
| SGD | Singapore dollar | 2 |
| TRY | New Turkish lira | 2 |
| USD | US dollar | 2 |
| ZAR | South African rand | 2 |
Minor units
Monite API expects that currency amounts are specified in minor units, that is the smallest unit of a currency such as cents or pennies. For example, $10.95 is represented as 1095 (in cents).
Most of the supported currencies have two decimals, meaning you would multiply the currency amount by 100 to get the value in minor units.
Zero-decimal currencies, such as JPY and KRW, do not have minor units. These currencies require an amount in the regular denomination. For example, 50 JPY is represented as 50.
