Financial Services Points of Interest in Bulgaria from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data for Bulgaria tagged with the `amenity` key for financial services points of interest, including banks, ATMs, post offices, money transfer agents, and microfinance branches. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) provides this dataset via HDX, last updated on 2026-06-26. Coverage reflects volunteer mapping activity, which may be more complete in urban areas than remote ones.

Use Cases

• Map financial inclusion based on the distribution of service points like banks and microfinance branches.
• Plan cash distribution networks based on the locations of ATMs and money transfer agents.
• Conduct regional economic analysis based on the density and type of financial amenities.

Strengths

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

Limitations

• Coverage is uneven, with urban areas likely better represented than remote areas due to volunteer mapping patterns.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
