If you're talking about exchanging IP traffic with a payment processor, I
don't think there is an exchange point dedicated to them. They would
either buy transit from a provider, or have a presence at one or more
public exchange points. If you want to use a specific payment processor,
many of the ones I've seen have a way to move payment info securely over
the public Internet, or if you have a large enough transaction volume (or
your business policies require it), a circuit directly to the processor's
network might be an option.
I'm not exactly sure what you mean by an "ATM interexchange network".
