the situation is different in the US, and hard to map with current
OSM tagging conventions. ATMs can serve multiple "networks",
and cards can work in multiple networks, but no-fee is restricted
to ATMs belonging to card holder's financial institution. looking
at the backs of some cards i have, i see NYCE, PLUS, Cirrus,
and a network i'd never heard of before, jeanie. many machines
are on more than one of those networks.

this is actually kind of tricky to tag consistently internationally.
