Financial Services of Bahrain from OpenStreetMap Volunteer Mapping

OpenStreetMap volunteer mappers have tagged locations for banks, ATMs, post offices, money transfer agents, and microfinance branches across Bahrain. The data is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-06-26. Coverage likely reflects areas where mappers have been active, with urban areas typically better represented than remote ones.

Use Cases

• Map financial service accessibility based on tagged amenity locations.
• Plan cash distribution networks based on the density of ATMs and money transfer agents.
• Analyze economic activity patterns based on the spatial distribution of financial service branches.

Strengths

• Covers multiple financial service types: banks, ATMs, post offices, money transfer agents, and microfinance branches.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats: GEOPACKAGE, SHP, KML, GEOJSON, JSON.
• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.

Limitations

• Coverage is volunteer-dependent; urban areas are usually well represented, remote areas may be sparse.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
