Question Regarding Data Providers for SafeGraph Spend
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.

Discontinuing Advan Patterns with legacy Safegraph POIs?
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?

How to understand the difference between raw_visitor_counts data and visitors from different cbgs
I calculated the sum of raw_visitor_counts data for each park in Los Angeles. In addition, I calculated the total number of visitors from different cbgs for each park. I found that although their pearson correlation coefficient is high (0.99), the raw_visitor_counts data is much larger than the total number of visitor_home_cbgs.
