Since there are check cashing shops (usually they also offer payday loans), amenity=check_cashing_machine would be more specific, for tagging a node with the precise location of the machine
But if this tag will be added to another feature, like a shop=supermarket, a tag with the structure check_cashing_machine=yes would fit the pattern of atm=yes - this tag says that the shop or other feature contains a check cashing machine.
