Hi there,
You are supposed to be able to use your Cirrus Card at AGB. However , I think if your card is not equipped with an EMV chip ( the old magnetic strip) , you will face some issues.
I propose some options , hopefully one of them will eventually work.
1- if your card is also part of the MasterCard logo network ( usually it is the case for Cirrus, as in two associated networks) You should be able to go to any CPA bank and get a cash advance from the counter. Keep in mind , you will get Algerian dinars at the official rate anytime you deal with Algerian bank or ATM withdraws.
2- AGB and other banks maybe able to complete the same service at the counter, you will need proof of ID most likely.
3- I believe BEA bank , has a large Full Service ATM station at Rue Didouche Mourad in Algiers . They service MasterCard , but yet again if you have issues you should be able to use your card inside most of the banks.
Hope this helped
