      Oh yeah the Access To Money machines that you see at sketchy convenience stores and whatnot usually have bizarrely high fees

      Whereas Automated Teller Machines operated by established financial institutions are a little more trustworthy and reasonable

      (I’m only a little bit joking)

    PIN is an acronym. ATM is an initialism. Please pedant properly.
