About GlobalPay

Money should move as freely as people do.

We're building the compliant rail between Algeria and the world โ€” for freelancers who earn abroad, SMEs who source abroad, and families who send money home.

Why we exist

Algeria has millions of freelancers, remote workers, and small businesses earning in foreign currency โ€” but no clean, compliant way to receive it and spend it.

Today, freelancers use Payoneer, informal channels, or family abroad. SMEs swap currency on the street. Families send cash by hand.

We're building the rail that should have existed a decade ago: hold CAD, EUR, or USD in a real account, convert to DZD at the official rate when you choose, and spend abroad without touching the banking bureaucracy.

Algeria โ†” the world
Compliant. Transparent. Fast.
Our mission

Three commitments

Everything we build is measured against these three principles.

โš–๏ธ

Compliant by default

We operate as an agent of a licensed PSP, keep customer funds in a segregated partner bank, and follow the same AML/KYC standards as licensed financial institutions.

๐Ÿ‘๏ธ

Radically transparent

Published fees. Every line item shown before you confirm. No hidden FX spreads. No surprise charges.

๐Ÿš€

Built for reality

Algeria's financial reality is complex. We work within it โ€” not against it โ€” to give users a service that actually works.

What guides us

Four values

The principles that shape every decision.

01

User money is not our money

Customer funds are held in a segregated account and never used for operations. Every transaction is ledgered and auditable.

02

Build narrow, architect wide

We ship the smallest thing that proves the model โ€” CAD โ†’ DZD for freelancers โ€” but design every layer to extend without rewrite.

03

Manual is fine if it works

Automation is expensive. Manual settlement, manual KYC review, manual reconciliation โ€” all acceptable until scale justifies otherwise.

04

Regulation is a feature

The Algerian PSP framework is opening. We're building for it deliberately โ€” agent first, own license later โ€” not working around it.

The team

Small, focused, hands-on

We're lean on purpose โ€” a founder, a partner, and engineers joining December 2026.
