Financial Services in Yemen from OpenStreetMap for Inclusion Mapping

OpenStreetMap data for Yemen, last updated 2026-06-24, tags financial service points via the `amenity` key. The dataset includes banks, ATMs, post offices, money transfer agents, and microfinance branches. It is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and is useful for mapping financial infrastructure.

Use Cases

• Map financial service access for inclusion analysis based on tagged amenity points.
• Plan cash distribution networks based on the locations of banks and money transfer agents.
• Conduct economic analysis of financial infrastructure density in urban and rural areas.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• Covers 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 better represented than remote areas.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
