Using Monese in Algiers, Algeria
Local banking landscape · Algeria · Africa
Algiers is Algeria's capital and economic centre, home to the headquarters of Sonatrach (Africa's largest company) and dominated by hydrocarbon revenues supporting a large public sector economy.
Algiers's fintech sector is nascent, with CCP postal accounts and BaridiMob mobile app emerging as the primary digital payment tools in a largely cash-based and state-dominated economy. DZD accounts, digital alternatives to Algeria's state-dominated banking system, and banking for Algiers's large public sector, oil industry, and increasingly young and tech-connected population. DZD accounts and multi-currency options are both available. Compare and open your account entirely online — no branch visit required.
