Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send $1,000, after fees, as quoted by each company. The mid-market line shows what $1,000 converts to at the real exchange rate, with no fees or markup. Rates are checked once a day. Sponsored placements never affect this data. There are no bank quotes for this period.
The dashed line is what you'd get at the mid-market rate with no fees, and the blue line is the cheapest option that day.
When the blue line goes above the dashed one, you're getting more DZD per CAD than the mid-market rate can offer.
This could be due to money transfer offers, FX rate adjustments, or market competitiveness.
No company, app or bank beat the mid-market rate over the past month, meaning you lose a bit of DZD on every transfer from Canada.
Right now, Paysend pays 95,578.92 DZD on 1,000 CAD, which is 675.06 DZD less than the mid-market amount.
Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 95,732.34 DZD.
If you can wait and want to get the most out of your transfer, create a rate alert and we'll let you know when the rate improves.
Just because a company is the cheapest today doesn't mean it's always the best option for sending money to Algeria.

Different companies can come out cheapest depending on the day and the amount you send.
To keep things fair, we only count the comparisons each company appeared in, and only analyze companies that appeared in at least 50% of all comparisons (so occasional cheapest options don't skew it).
Today Paysend is the cheapest and gets you the most DZD, and it was also the cheapest in 100% of the 92 comparisons it appeared in over the past month.
It's a good pick for both one-off and regular transfers to Algeria.
Western Union (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 22% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to Algeria.
There are 3 companies sending money to Algeria, but how you send depends on your needs.
For transfers home
An app does the same job as the store for less, and you top it up with an Interac e-Transfer, the same way you'd send money to a friend.
Paysend charges CA$0 in fees and adds 0.7% markup, so your CA$1,000 delivers 95,578.92 DZD in 6-12 hours.
Over the past month, Paysend was the cheapest app on 100% of the days it appeared for CA$1,000 transfers.
You don't need a SIN to sign up either, a passport works.
For one-off transfers
For bigger or less frequent transfers, compare a couple of online services on the day, and pick the cheapest.
Of the 3 companies we compared, Paysend is the cheapest online service and currently gets you 95,578.92 DZD on a CA$1,000 transfer after a CA$0 fee and 0.7% markup.
In our comparisons over the past month, it was the cheapest online service on 30 of the 30 days it quoted.
Funding by bank transfer (EFT) is cheapest but takes 1-2 days to clear, and Interac e-Transfer or debit card is faster but pricier.
For large transfers from Canada
For property, tuition, moving from Canada, or an inheritance, a broker is the best and usually the cheapest option.
For large transfers (CA$15,000+), brokers like Currencies Direct or RegencyFX charge no fee, but add a margin that gets lower the more you send. Run a live search with your real amount to see it.
If you're sending large amounts, expect more questions about the transfers, so have statements and documents ready to avoid delays.
For businesses paying abroad
Global accounts handle the business side, paying suppliers, contractors and overseas invoices in DZD.
Companies like OFX, Airwallex, or WorldFirst are set up for the batch and recurring payments a personal app can't do.
For spending abroad and getting paid
If part of your life runs in DZD, be it spending it, saving it, or waiting for a better rate, a multi-currency account can hold it alongside your CAD.
Wise lets you hold CAD and DZD, and convert between them at low cost.
For example, converting $1,000 costs $50.24 in fees at 0.24% markup, which gets you 91,199.94 DZD.
Over the past month, it came out cheapest among multi-currency accounts on 100% of days.
With Paysend, paying by debit card and receiving through bank deposit is the cheapest combination. Sending CA$1,000 gives your recipient 95,578.92 DZD.
Deposit CAD using debit card, credit card, bank transfer, and interac.
I suggest using Interac e-Transfer for simplicity
Follow the company's Interac instructions and check the business name before sending.
Do not send to an email address supplied outside the company's app or website.
The recipient can receive DZD through bank deposit.
For a bank deposit payout, you will need the recipient's bank details in Algeria.

Interac can fund an international transfer, but it does not send money abroad by itself. You should also know what happens when a transfer reaches the FINTRAC reporting threshold.
For a CA$1,000 transfer to Algeria, these are the cheapest, fastest and easiest options available now.
Best way to send money to Algeria
Paysend is the cheapest and easiest option, funded by debit card with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 95,578.92 DZD, which is 3.19% more than the next best option.
Fastest way to send money to Algeria
Paysend is fastest when you pay by debit card and choose bank deposit for the payout. The transfer delivers 95,578.92 DZD in 6-12 hours.
An Interac e-Transfer cannot go directly to a recipient in Algeria.
When a transfer company accepts Interac, you send CAD to its Canadian account and the company handles the international side over its own network.
There is no C$10,000 legal cap on electronic transfers from Canada.
A reporting entity must report an international electronic funds transfer of C$10,000 or more to FINTRAC, including linked transfers that meet the 24-hour rule.
The bank or transfer company makes that report, you do not file it yourself.
But you may be asked for proof of where the money came from.
Sending your own cash or making a genuine cash gift does not create a Canadian gift tax simply because the money goes abroad.
Tax can become relevant when you transfer an appreciated asset rather than cash, or when attribution rules apply.
Money held with a payment company is not covered by CDIC in the same way as an eligible bank deposit.
Payment companies covered by the Retail Payment Activities Act must safeguard end-user funds, but the Bank of Canada does not resolve individual fee or payment disputes.
If you’re unsure about the company, you can check the company in the FINTRAC MSB Registry.
If you live in Quebec, also confirm that it is allowed to provide money services there.
Most of the pricing here comes straight from the companies, and anything we gather by hand is labelled in the table.
