Financial Services Locations in Mauritania from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data for Mauritania includes locations of financial services tagged via the `amenity` key. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) exported the data, which was last updated on 2026-05-14. Completeness likely varies by region, with urban areas typically better mapped than remote ones.

Use Cases

• Map financial inclusion based on the distribution of banks, ATMs, and microfinance branches.
• Plan cash distribution and aid logistics based on the locations of money transfer agents and post offices.
• Conduct economic analysis using the spatial density of financial service amenities.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Explicitly includes financial service types: banks, ATMs, post offices, money transfer agents, and microfinance branches.

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; remote areas may be incomplete.
