# Sending international wires
> Create an international wire with or without an FX quote.
For a foreign-currency wire, create an FX quote and use its `fxQuoteId`
before `expiresAt`. For a USD international wire, omit `fxQuoteId` and
create the wire directly.
For a foreign-currency wire:
1. Create an FX quote for the exact beneficiary amount and currency.
2. Before `expiresAt`, create the international wire with that quote id.
3. Keep the returned Transfer id and follow its lifecycle.
Creating an international wire requires a user API key with wire access,
used from an allowlisted IP. Amounts use the currency's minor unit, so `10000`
GBP means GBP 100.00.
```json theme={null}
{
"amount": { "amount": 10000, "currency": "GBP" },
"fromAccount": "subaccount_operations123",
"destinationId": "le_contact_destination_intl123",
"description": "International invoice 1042",
"internationalWire": {
"fxQuoteId": "fx_rate_quote_123",
"purposeCode": "GDDS",
"remittanceInfo": "Invoice 1042",
"intermediaryBankBic": "BARCGB22"
}
}
```
`amount` is what the beneficiary receives. A non-USD amount requires a quote
for the exact amount and currency. A USD international wire must omit
`fxQuoteId`.
The response has `type: "international_wire"` and can be retrieved from
`GET /v2/transfers/international-wire/{transferId}`. International wires
cannot be canceled through the API.
