How Algerians use RedotPay

- Paying abroad online: AI tools, AliExpress and Temu, ad accounts, games. See paying online.
- Receiving freelance income: often through PayPal. See receiving money from abroad, including the PayPal problems users reported in 2026.
Practical points
- Apple Pay isn’t available in Algeria, so for in-person payments you need the physical card.
- Paying in dinars, for example at an ATM in Algeria, adds the 1.2% other-currency fee and the 1% crypto conversion to the 2% ATM fee. See fees.
- Money held for review is the most common complaint from Algerian reviewers. Read why and how to avoid it before moving larger amounts.
