Sudan Financial Services Locations from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data for Sudan, last updated 2026-05-09, includes points of interest for financial services such as banks, ATMs, and money transfer agents. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) compiled this dataset through volunteer mapping efforts. Completeness of the data varies, with urban areas likely more thoroughly mapped than remote regions.

Use Cases

• Map financial service accessibility for inclusion studies based on the described amenity types.
• Plan cash distribution networks for humanitarian aid based on the locations of banks and ATMs.
• Conduct economic analysis of financial infrastructure density based on the geospatial point data.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Dataset is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a widely used collaborative mapping project.
• Explicitly includes several financial service types: banks, ATMs, post offices, money transfer agents, and microfinance branches.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data completeness varies by region, with remote areas potentially incomplete.
