Portuguese term or phrase: Banco de apoio da caixa automática
É o banco responsável por assegurar que a caixa automática funcione em condições. Não consigo encontrar o correspondente de 'banco de apoio'. 'Bank support' remete para o conceito de apoio ao portador de cartões, como um call service para informações e denúncia de mau funcionamento da caixa automática.

Obrigada desde já.

ATM host bank
Explanation:
"host bank" is one way of saying it:


Unlimited free non Brookline Bank ATM withdrawals (the host bank may charge fees)
https://www.brooklinebank.com/site/disclosures_tis.html

Banks have charged fees to cover the cost involved in transferring money from a bank to the host bank
since the machines came into vogue.

Notes to answerer
Asker: ATM Support is the client support service, not the bank backing the ATM service, there is why the concept in Portuguese is more obvious than it is in English. Suporte/Support, in this case, is a false friend.
