Hi, As a designer who maintained ATM interfaces of a leading bank in Turkey for more then 2 years, i can easily say that its all about technology, easy of use and marketing. Finance is one of the heaviest competition field in Turkey and companies heavily invest in technology. ATM and web banking penetration is enormous and many banks heavily promote these tools.
Nowadays you can buy match or concert tickets from ATMs, pay your bills or credit card payments without any need for a card. ATMs are 16million colored, touch-screened and heavily updated with promotion materials. People are easily using them for any activity and banks are promoting that with getting service fees if you do the same operations inside the bank. IMO its very similar to using data services with a 1st generation mobile phone and an iphone.
