To create an international charge, set the `currency` field inside `creditCardPayment` to a value other than `BRL` (the default value). To see the possible values, check the list of [currencies](/docs/cartao/currencies).

## Rules for international charges [#rules-for-international-charges]

<Callout type="warn">
  When you change the `currency` field, you also change the currency of the value passed in `amount`. For example, if `currency` is `USD` (US Dollar), the value in `amount` is now expressed in US cents, no longer in Brazilian centavos.
</Callout>

* In international charges, the `fraudAnalysis` field becomes **mandatory**. See [Fraud analysis](/docs/cartao/antifraud).
* Inside `customer`, the schema requires only `name`. Since `fraudAnalysis` is mandatory here, the [antifraud](/docs/cartao/antifraud) also requires `identity`, `identityType`, `email`, `phone` and `address`; inside `address`, only `complement` is optional.
* Only foreign cards are accepted.
* International charges cannot be paid in installments: always pass `1` in `installments`.
* The `amount` is interpreted in the smallest unit of the currency chosen in `currency`.
