FieldDescription

ISO 4217

 

alpha

Official three-letter currency code (e.g. USD).

Num

Numeric currency code according to ISO standard.

Name

Commonly used name of the currency.

Dec. digits

Maximum number of decimal places allowed by the currency,  e.g. for US dollars or euros it will be 2, since the smallest unit is one cent (0.01), while for yen it will be 0, because an amount in yens can only be a whole integer.

Major

The main currency unit, e.g. dollar.

Minor

The lesser currency unit (if applicable), e.g. cent.

Payment System

Selects an online payment processor to process payments in this currency.

Remittance Payment System

Defines a payment remittance system. Select the corresponding payment remittance system to allow your customers who maintain their balances in this currency to transfer funds from their accounts in PortaSwitch to a mobile phone’s balance in another country.

       

 

       

Note that one currency entry can be assigned to a payment or remittance system or to neither of those options.

Payment Method

Read-only column; lists all available payment methods (e.g. VISA) for the selected payment system.

Minimum Payment

The smallest allowed amount for an online payment (in the corresponding currency), in order to prevent service abuse.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

 

The ISO 4217 currency code is normally composed of a country’s two-character  ISO 3166 country code plus an extra character denoting the currency unit.  For example, the code for Canadian Dollars is simply Canada’s two-character  ISO 3166 code (“CA”) plus a one-character currency designator (“D”). Currency unit names (major and minor) are not defined in ISO 4217, and are listed  in the table only for user convenience.
