How to accept online payments for your events in Algeria? Complete guide to CIB, Edahbia solutions and ticketing platforms tailored to the Algerian market.
If you have ever tried using an international ticketing platform for an event in Algeria, you know the blocker: your attendees don't have a Visa card, no PayPal account, and payment becomes an obstacle. The good news? Local solutions exist and they cover the payment methods Algerians actually use.
Payment methods available in Algeria
CIB (Interbank Card)
The CIB card is the most widespread electronic payment method in Algeria. Issued by Algerian banks, it allows online payment on sites that accept it. It is the number one solution for online ticketing.
Edahbia
Edahbia (Algerie Poste) is Algerie Poste's electronic payment service. With millions of active CCP accounts, it is an essential payment method to reach a broad audience, including people who don't have a CIB card.
Chargily Pay
A more recent solution, Chargily Pay allows online payment through multiple methods and is gaining popularity in the Algerian tech ecosystem.
