*The generic services seem to be:* * Currency exchange (e.g. Dollars for CN ¥) * Low Income Lending (e.g. Payday loans, Tax refund anticipation loans, Auto Title Loans, Generic Unsecured Loan Sharking). * Check cashing (for people without access to a bank). * Money Transfer (e.g. Western Union, TransferWise). * Pawn (borrow money against value of goods left at the store). *A local check cashing place may offer a mix:* shop=money_transfer services=Western Union;Payday Loans;Currency Exchange;MoneyGram;TransferWise <https://transferwise.com/l> *We'd then have the following "top level symbols":* * bank * money_services (non-bank money services mostly for low income people) * bureau_de_change (restricted to only currency exchange for wealthy travelers) * pawnshop This is clear case where some mechanical retagging can help make the data more rational.
