# RedotPay in Algeria: what works and what it costs

RedotPay serves Algeria: you can open an account and get both cards.

## Algeria at a glance

| | Algeria |
|---|---|
| Account | Available |
| Virtual card | Available, 10 USD |
| Physical card | Available, 100 USD. DHL Express 3–10 days, or free standard mail 5–30 days |

| Topping up with dinars | Only through [P2P](/en/p2p/), if DZD appears in the app's currency list. We couldn't confirm it |
| Receiving dinars | No: the app's fiat accounts are USD, EUR, GBP and a few others |

## How Algerians use RedotPay

From public reviews and forums, mostly:

- **Paying abroad online**: AI tools, AliExpress and Temu, ad accounts, games. See [paying online](/en/cards/pay-online/).
- **Receiving freelance income**: often through PayPal. See [receiving money from abroad](/en/deposits-withdrawals/receive-money/), including the PayPal problems users reported in 2026.

## Practical points

- **[Apple Pay](/en/cards/mobile-wallets/) isn't available in Algeria**, so for in-person payments you need the [physical card](/en/cards/physical-card/).
- **Paying in dinars**, for example at an [ATM](/en/cards/atm-withdrawals/) in Algeria, adds the 1.2% other-currency fee and the 1% crypto conversion to the 2% ATM fee. See [fees](/en/fees-limits/).
- **Money held for review** is the most common complaint from Algerian reviewers. Read [why and how to avoid it](/en/troubleshooting/funds-on-hold/) before moving larger amounts.
