"ATM machine" is sort of like saying "the BBC corporation." But I think the last the worst. One might unthinkingly parrot the common mistake "ATM machine" at least from inattention; whereas "BBC corporation" is both redundant and newfangled. You might suffer to repeat the first redundancy from careless mimicry, but if you say the second you can only have introduced a new one of your own making.
