and Parquet downloads:

- `https://storage.data.gov.my/finsector/payments/channels.csv`

## Coverage

The dataset covers five ATM, internet-banking, and mobile-banking channels in
Malaysia from 2019-01-01 through 2026-02-01.

## Schema

| Field | Type | Description |

| `value` | number | Total transaction value in ringgit. |
| `volume` | number | Number of transactions. |

- Channel codes include ATM cash withdrawal, ATM financial transactions,
  corporate and individual internet banking, and mobile banking.
- `value` is monetary while `volume` is a transaction count.
