Hi,
I’m currently exploring the SafeGraph Spend dataset and would like to better understand the sources of the data.
Could you please let me know which financial institutions (e.g., banks, credit card networks, or processors) contribute to the anonymized debit and credit card transaction data used in the Spend dataset?
If the exact institutions cannot be disclosed, any general information (e.g., whether data is sourced from major national banks, regional banks, or third-party aggregators) would be greatly appreciated.

Hi- We want to order for a research team using an Institution Purchase order for the University at Buffalo. Can someone reach out to me to begin that process? Thank you.

Hi - I heard from a user that obtains Advan directly (not through dewey) that in February 2025 Advan discontinued the production of the weekly and monthly patterns datasets with legacy usage of Safegraph placekeys. They appear to now be producing Patterns+ which has their new version of a placekey (now called footprint_id) and the Patterns+ data is not linkable to Safegraph Spend, etc. Is Dewey still receiving a version of newly-produced data that has legacy placekeys? Are there any changes to the Advan weekly patterns data that Dewey continues to provide?

Hi, I'm working with SafeGraph's Spend dataset and would like to focus my analysis on a specific region, such as Los Angeles.

Is it possible to unlock customization options for the Advan Weekly Patterns so we can filter the data?

I'm trying to link POI data to the various companies using names or tickers; however, the all the POI data here do not have tickers. Is there a way to match POI data to company names in Compustat identifiers?
