Financial Services in Guinea-Bissau from OpenStreetMap

A May 2026 export of OpenStreetMap data for Guinea-Bissau, compiled by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT). It maps financial service locations tagged with the `amenity` key, including banks, ATMs, post offices, money transfer agents, and microfinance branches. The data is provided in multiple geospatial formats such as GeoPackage, KML, and GeoJSON.

Use Cases

• Map financial inclusion based on the distribution of service points like banks and ATMs.
• Plan cash distribution networks based on the locations of money transfer agents and post offices.
• Conduct economic analysis based on the density and types of financial amenities.
• Validate and augment field surveys with volunteered geographic information on microfinance branches.

Strengths

• Data is available in six geospatial file formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, and GEOJSON.
• Covers multiple financial service types explicitly listed: banks, ATMs, post offices, money transfer agents, and microfinance branches.
• License is clearly stated as ODbL-1.0.

Limitations

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