Oh, good.

One reason I asked was because on a recent arrival at Budapest Keleti
I was shocked to find a number of somewhat dodgy-looking bureaux de
change (with queues!) and an almost-mob of currency touts right next
to signs telling me that changing currency with street traders was
illegal.
Luckily from the station steps I saw and recognised the logo of a
German bank a few hundred metres away, and that had a cash machine.
Indeed, Budapest in general seemed to have plenty of cash machines but
for some bizarre reason not in railway stations. Perhaps someone is
getting kickbacks from bureaux de change and that leaves room for
touts.
I can see at least one bank on the OSM for Banja Luka, at the
intersection of Aleja svetog Save and Gunduliceva. I'm sure it will
work out but IWBNI the local team were able to give clearer advice.
Best would be to add the locations of cash machines to OSM (without
copying from some proprietary map of course!)
Ian.
