The Nigerian Financial Services Maps (NFS Maps) project grew out of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) Financial Services for the Poor (FSP) project, and the insight2impact (i2i) facility that mapped financial services in Nigeria, amongst other regions.
NFS Maps is a data visualization application whose objective is to increase and improve the volume, and accuracy of data available to financial authorities and other key stakeholders.
The goal of the NFS Maps platform is to provide geospatial data on financial services in Nigeria for use by regulators, government agencies, financial service providers and the public on a real or near-real time basis.
