The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) announced the expansion of its Open API portal with a new spatial dataset providing location details on self-service banking machines.
This dataset covers five types of machines—cash deposit machines, cheque deposit machines, integrated cash and cheque deposit machines, passbook update machines, and video teller machines—operated by 20 retail banks in Hong Kong.
With this addition, the HKMA’s website now offers three one-stop datasets for physical banking facilities, including data on branches and ATMs launched last year.
These existing datasets have also been updated with additional information such as accessibility features at branches and the currencies supported for deposits and withdrawals at ATMs.
The HKMA aims to empower app developers, technology service providers, and the public by providing open data to foster practical applications for the banking industry.
All datasets are available for download via the HKMA’s Open API portal.
