Public and private banks in Algeria are accelerating their efforts to promote electronic payments and move away from cash-based transactions before the end of 2026. These efforts align with the National Payments Commission's strategy. The Banque Nationale d'Algérie has introduced prepaid cards for students and families, while the Banque de Développement Local is prioritizing mobile payments for school supplies and increasing interbank card limits for Hajj expenses. Meanwhile, the Banque Extérieure d'Algérie has launched international cards for small importers, and the Crédit Populaire d'Algérie is witnessing a surge in QR code payment usage. These developments are facilitating the digital payment of administrative fees, housing installments, and taxes, signaling a major shift in the country's financial landscape.
