The following is issued on behalf of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority:
The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) announced today (December 9) 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 datasets (Note) 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.
Note: Since September 29, 2023, two datasets of physical branches and ATMs of 20 retail banks in Hong Kong have been available on HKMA's Open API portal.
