Financial Services in Mozambique from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data tags financial service points in Mozambique, including banks, ATMs, and microfinance branches. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) compiled this dataset, last updated on 2026-06-19. Coverage likely reflects volunteer mapping activity, with urban areas typically better represented than remote regions.

Use Cases

• Map financial service accessibility for inclusion studies based on the described amenity points.
• Plan cash distribution and ATM network expansion based on the locations of banks and money transfer agents.
• Analyze the spatial distribution of economic infrastructure like post offices and microfinance branches.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative global mapping project.
• Includes multiple financial service types: banks, ATMs, post offices, money transfer agents, and microfinance branches.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.

Limitations

• Coverage is uneven, with urban areas likely well-represented and remote areas potentially sparse.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale analysis.
