Coming: CNIBE verification

A Algeria-specific identity check against the CNIBE (Ministry of Interior) is planned. Until it launches, you can verify people in Algeria with document OCR, liveness and face match, which work with any passport, national ID or driver's licence photo.

Prices in DZD

Your balance is held in naira. Prices below are converted at ₦9.9035 per DZD, rounded up. Top-ups in DZD are credited at the same rate.

Phone number format

Algeria mobile numbers are written locally as 0551 23 45 67 and internationally as +213551234567. The leading 0 is a national prefix: we drop it when we add +213, so local-format numbers work if you also send the country.

Topping up your balance

Card payments in DZD, converted to your naira balance at the rate shown when you pay. Provider availability is set per country, and cards in US dollars are the fallback where a local-currency option is not open yet.

Data protection

Personal data in Algeria is governed by the Law 18-07 on personal data. Phone verification stores only a salted hash of each code; check your own obligations as the data controller.
