   Hello Mike!

   Usually ATMs run windows, the backend instead is on legacy systems, Zseries,   
   rarely on S390 (too old now), generally apps are transactional and run on   
   CICS, z/OS or similar.   
      
   Some time ago, more or less 5 or 7 yeats ago, A big Italian bank was bought by   
   a French one and all the data center moved from Italy to France. At that time   
   I was in the bank's data center to certify the internal ethernet network and i   
   saw a couple of S390 that was packed to be shipped in France. Also a Z10   
   mainframe was there.   
      
   Ciao!
