A geospatial point dataset of financial service locations in Cameroon, including banks, ATMs, post offices, money transfer agents, and microfinance branches. The data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free collaborative world map, and was last updated on 2026-06-19. It is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) as part of their exports grid on HDX.

Use Cases

• Mapping financial inclusion based on the distribution of amenities like banks and microfinance branches.
• Planning cash distribution networks based on the locations of ATMs and money transfer agents.
• Conducting economic analysis based on the spatial concentration of financial service points.

Strengths

• Covers multiple financial service types (banks, ATMs, post offices, money transfer agents, microfinance) as specified.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats (GEOPACKAGE, SHP, KML, GEOJSON, JSON).
• Data is licensed under the ODbL-1.0, a recognized open data license.

Limitations

• Coverage is dependent on volunteer mapper activity; urban areas are likely well represented while 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.
