Nothing, a cash machine/hole in the wall is an automated teller machine (ATM), Americans seem to like acronyms more than the British. It would be helpful if people on both sides of the Atlantic could just tell foreign tourists where the machine is rather than correcting a different form of English.

automated teller machine or automatic teller machine (ATM) (also called MAC machine, cash machine, cashpoint, ATM Scrip to Cash machine, "hole in the wall", "bank machine" or "ABM", "autoteller" or guichet) is an electronic computerized telecommunications device that allows a bank's customers to directly use a secure method of communication to access their bank accounts, order or make cash withdrawals and check their account balances without the need for a human bank teller (or cashier in the UK). Some ATMs allow withdrawals funded by clerical staff in retail merchant locations. The clerical staff are not considered bank tellers. Many ATMs also allow people to deposit cash or cheques, transfer money between their bank accounts, top up their mobile phones' pre-paid accounts or even buy postage stamps

well, they are usually the same thing. BUT, i can imagine that one could build a cash machine that did not have all the banking functions of an ATM.
In that case, the CASH MACHINE would dispense cash, maybe take it in, and probably be activated by credit/debit cards or something like that. the cash machine would hav fewer controls, fewer options, and could use a lower bandwidth computer connection to the "home' bank.

None. ATM stands for automatic teller machine and cash machine is the British slang term for ATM.

a cash machine is usually owned by a private company or person, I believe. And will only give you cash. An ATM is an automated teller, and you can usually make deposits and move money from one account to another.
I could be wrong though.
