[Tagging] atms with names?

[john at jfeldredge.com]

In the USA, ATMs will usually be labeled with the name of the bank chain operating them, and then will have smaller decals on the front showing which networks of banks that bank belongs to (for example, banking chain A and banking chain B both are part of the Cirrus network).  You can use any ATM in a network that your bank belongs to, but will probably have to pay higher fees for any withdrawal from an ATM not owned by your own bank.  So, I would think that the bank name would go into brand, and possibly name as well; there would be multiple network tags.

The wiki states the "name" is a suitable tag for atm. I disagree
because I don't know named atms. Do you? I am also proposing the use
of the network-tag (or maybe brand?) e.g. "cash_group" "Sparkasse",
"Volks- und Raiffeisenbank"  (all german networks for atms). I this is
undisputed, I'd change the wiki.

Cheers,
Martin
