Payment testing notes for Algeria
- Currency: DZD (Algerian dinar). Most gateway APIs expect amounts in the smallest unit, for example 1050 for 10.50.
- Card authentication: Merchants approved for CIB/Edahabia online payments must use 3-D Secure through SATIM, although 3DS2 rollout is reported to be uneven. Source
- Card country: Fraud rules often compare the BIN country (DZ) with the shopper's IP address and billing address. Use a BIN from Algeria for the domestic path and a foreign BIN for cross-border rules.
- Debit vs credit: 76% of the BINs from Algeria are debit ranges — a higher share than in 53 of the 62 other countries we cover. If your checkout treats debit differently (fees, installments, recurring billing), test a BIN of each type from the table above.
- Billing details: postcodes in Algeria are 5 digits (e.g. 16000); phone numbers use +213 — mobiles are 9 digits starting with 5, 6 or 7 (0X XX XX XX XX nationally); landlines are 8 or 9 digits.
- Domestic payments run mostly on CIB interbank cards and Algérie Poste's Edahabia card; Visa and Mastercard are used mainly for international payments.

By BIN count in our data: Visa 56%, Mastercard 29%, Maestro 8%, Diners Club 5%. Debit ranges make up 76% and credit ranges 24%.
Which BINs do Visa cards from Algeria start with?

Which currency should I use to test payments from Algeria?
DZD (Algerian dinar). Gateway APIs usually expect amounts in the smallest unit (for example 1050 for 10.50). A card from any country can pay in any currency the merchant supports; the issuer handles conversion.
Is a generated Algeria card number a real card?
They do not. A generated number only has the right shape; Credit Populaire D'Algerie or any other issuer has never heard of it, so authorization always fails. Real alternatives: a virtual card from a bank in Algeria. Testing a checkout? Use your gateway’s sandbox test cards.
