There is nothing surprising in this. US is the homeland of ATM. You dont need to do a lot of paper work and get licenses, to install an ATM in the US. Just few signatures, agreement and you can install an ATM in any/every room of your home. While in Europe you will face a lot of bureaucracy and difficulties while doing same actions .
