Albanian Financial Service Locations from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports provide point-of-interest data for financial services across Albania, including banks, ATMs, and money transfer agents. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) maintains this export, last updated on May 10, 2026. Data completeness likely varies, with urban areas typically better mapped than remote regions.

Use Cases

• Map financial service accessibility for inclusion studies based on amenity point locations.
• Plan cash distribution or ATM placement based on the density of existing service points.
• Analyze regional economic activity patterns based on the concentration of banks and microfinance branches.

Strengths

• Data covers multiple financial service types explicitly mentioned: banks, ATMs, post offices, money transfer agents, and microfinance branches.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats: GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, GEOJSON, and JSON.
• Sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative global mapping project.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data completeness varies by region; remote areas may be incomplete according to the description.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale analysis.
