SofizPay is Algeria's leading payment gateway that allows businesses to accept Dahabia, CIB, and online payments securely and reliably.

Does SofizPay support Dahabia cards?

Yes, SofizPay fully supports Dahabia card payments, enabling merchants to accept payments from Algérie Poste customers with fast settlement.

How fast are payments processed?

Transactions are processed instantly in real-time, and merchant payouts are settled directly to your bank account within 24 hours.

Is SofizPay available throughout Algeria?

Yes, SofizPay is available nationwide across all 58 wilayas of Algeria for all merchants and startups.

Is SofizPay better than Chargily for Algeria?

SofizPay charges 0% on transactions and only 1% upon withdrawal, with no hidden fees. Unlike Chargily, SofizPay also includes SofizMarket — a free built-in e-commerce marketplace. SofizPay uses server-side rendering (Next.js SSR) for faster indexing, while Chargily relies on a JavaScript SPA which can limit SEO performance.

Does SofizPay work with the SATIM / CIB network?

Yes. SofizPay is built on top of Algeria's official SATIM/GIE Monétique infrastructure, meaning merchants get full Dahabia and CIB acceptance without the complex direct certification process. SofizPay handles the technical integration so you can accept e-payments in minutes.

How does e-payment work in Algeria with SofizPay?

SofizPay provides a ready-to-use REST API, WooCommerce plugin, and payment forms. Customers pay with Dahabia, CIB, or BaridiMob — and merchants receive their money within 24 hours. DZ Mob Pay (Switch Mobile) is also supported for the latest mobile payment standard.

Can anyone open a payment gateway in Algeria?

Yes, any natural or legal person with a valid commercial register or tax number can open a payment gateway in Algeria. With SofizPay the process is streamlined and digital.

What's the difference between Dahabia and CIB card?

Dahabia (Edahabia) is Algérie Poste's debit card for CCP accounts. CIB is the Algerian interbank card issued by commercial banks on the SATIM network. Both are accepted for online payments.

Do you need a direct agreement with SATIM or a bank?

No. When using SofizPay, you don't need any direct agreement with SATIM or banks. SofizPay holds those contracts and provides merchant access.
