Currency Codes and Minor Units
In your API requests, you must provide transaction amounts by specifying a currency code and a value. Given the number of currency decimals, the value must be specified in minor units for most APIs.
Minor Units
Our CheckOut API expects you to submit transaction amount values in minor units: the smallest unit of a currency, depending on the number of decimals.
Most currencies have two decimals. Some currencies do not have decimals, and some have three decimals. For example:
GBP 10: GBP has two decimals, so in minor units, you need to submit an amount of 1000
JPY 10: JPY has no decimals, so in minor units, you need to submit an amount of 10
BHD 10: BHD has three decimals, so in minor units, you need to submit an amount of 10000
This page lists the supported currency codes and explains what minor units are.

Different numbers of decimals
For CLP, CVE, IDR, and ISK the ISO 4217 standard has a different number of decimals than shown in our currency codes table above. When submitting amounts in minor units, the decimals in the table on this page are leading.
For example, ISK has zero decimals in the ISO 4217 standard, but to submit an ISK amount to Adyen you have to use two decimals as shown in the table.
