Expansion of One-Stop Dataset of Physical Banking Facilities of Retail Banks in Hong Kong
The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) announced today (9 December)
that an additional spatial dataset is made available via Open
Application Programming Interface (API) for public use starting from
today.
The new dataset provides information on five types of
self-service banking machines of 20 retail banks in Hong Kong,
covering cash deposit machines, cheque deposit machines, integrated
cash and cheque deposit machines, passbook update machines, as well as
video teller machines. Together with the two datasets1 launched last
year, the HKMA’s website now provides a total of three one-stop
datasets of physical banking facilities of retail banks.
Furthermore, the two existing datasets of physical branches
and Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) have also been enriched with more
information to make the database more comprehensive, such as the
availability of barrier-free measures at branches as well as the
currencies available for deposit and withdrawal through the ATMs.
The relevant datasets are available for download from the
HKMA’s Open API portal. The HKMA welcomes apps developers, technology
service providers and the public at large to make use of the open
information to unleash more practical applications.
