Is paying online with CIB and Edahabia safe? What merchants should know

Customers hesitate to pay online when they do not know where their card details go. With CIB and Edahabia payments the answer is simple: they are entered in the national payment environment, not on the shop's own page.

Layers of protection

• Card details stay out of your site. You never see or store the card number, so you cannot leak it.
• Card authentication. The national interbank rules ask for an authentication step (3D Secure) so that a stolen card number alone is not enough.
• Encrypted exchanges. Communication with the payment platform is encrypted, and your connection to it should always use HTTPS.

What DzWallet adds

• Account protection with two-factor authentication and, in the mobile app, a PIN or fingerprint.
• Identity verification of each merchant before live payments are enabled.
• A full record of every payment, fee and withdrawal in your dashboard.

Tip for your shop: always show the exact amount in DZD before the customer pays, and display your terms of sale and your contact details. Customers pay faster when they trust the page.
