Financial Services in Benin from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data points for financial services in Benin, including banks, ATMs, post offices, money transfer agents, and microfinance branches. The data is compiled by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated in May 2026. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas likely being better mapped than remote ones.

Use Cases

• Map financial service accessibility based on amenity locations.
• Plan cash distribution networks based on ATM and bank locations.
• Analyze economic infrastructure density based on tagged financial points.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON).
• Covers multiple financial service types (banks, ATMs, post offices, money transfer agents, microfinance).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Completeness varies by region, with remote areas likely being incomplete.
