What High Tech Systems does

High Tech Systems (HTS) is an Algerian private company founded in 1993 by Mohamed Benrabah and headquartered in Cheraga, Algiers, that supplies, installs, commissions, and maintains electronic payment and cash processing infrastructure for the Algerian banking and retail sectors. The company distributes and services third-party hardware from a roster of global manufacturers — NCR for ATMs (Guichets Automatiques de Banque / GAB), De La Rue for cash dispensers and sorters, Glory and Talaris/Brandt for bill and coin processing, Giesecke+Devrient (G&D) Germany for bank cards (under exclusive representation), Fichet-Bauche for physical security products, and Check Technology USA for check personalization — and complements this with proprietary software assets including the ACI Monétique front and back office solution, a Hardware Security Module (HSM) for transaction security, multimedia kiosks, and the E-Exchange currency rate display platform.

HTS has deployed 2,696 NCR ATMs and 550+ automatic cash dispensers across the Algerian national territory and operates four regional maintenance workshops (Algiers/Cheraga for Center, Constantine for East, Oran for West, and Bejaia), a National Logistics Center at Zeralda staffed by 44 service vehicles, and a 24/7 call center supporting intervention tracking and quality control. The company sells primarily through an enterprise field sales motion to banks, the Banque d'Algérie (central bank), and Algérie Poste, with secondary distribution of TPE (electronic payment) terminals to merchants.

The business model combines hardware sales (the primary revenue stream) with recurring maintenance and after-sales service contracts, one-time installation and commissioning fees, and professional services delivered through the High Tech Academy training program and call center support. SATIM regulatory approval (obtained in 2001) for the check personalization unit, combined with exclusive G&D representation for bank cards, provides a regulated entry barrier; however, the company remains a single-country operator with no disclosed AI/ML capabilities, no disclosed funding events, and no public revenue figures.
