Financial Services in Nepal from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports for Nepal contain geospatial data on financial services tagged via the `amenity` key. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) compiled this dataset, which includes banks, ATMs, post offices, money transfer agents, and microfinance branches. The data was last updated on 2026-05-14.

Use Cases

• Map financial service accessibility based on amenity types like banks and ATMs.
• Plan humanitarian cash distribution networks based on locations of money transfer agents.
• Analyze economic infrastructure density and urban development patterns using the geospatial point data.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• The dataset is derived from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative global mapping project.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• OpenStreetMap completeness varies by region; remote areas in Nepal may be incompletely mapped.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
