[Chris from OpenCorporates] This mission is specifically about bank and financial licences, as opposed to physical bank branch locations, which is slightly different (though related). We think this dataset is an essential foundation for such datasets, and others. It also links the banks to company records, and from that to potentially other data, from political contributions/lobbying to corporate networks (see https://opencorporates.com/viz/financial/index.html https://opencorporates.com/viz/financial/index.html -- some of this data came from the National Information Center, which is a joint project of the US banking regulators). However, if you think there's a company-related government dataset that should be scraped, please do go ahead and use turbot.opencorporates.com for that -- it's already been used for everything from civil aircraft registrations to mining licences to NHS Providers.
