Hello.

I used the word "comfortable" to refer to banks in the other and thread and it was wrong. I was translating word for word. I was wondering if it works in other contexts.

For example, "Our summers aren't very hot. They are comfortable."

Or if the weather is fine. Would a native speaker say it's comfortable.

Or if I am talking about ATMs. "You can take money out of an ATM without paying. The city has many ATMs. This is very comfortable."

No. The word you want is 'convenient'.

Do I will use "This is very convenient", but when talking about "the weather" isn't it also wrong to use "comfortable"?

"Convenient" is the word to use with "ATM". Use "comfortable" with the weather.
