Does anyone know if there is a peering point setup to pass traffic to
credit card processes such as First Data and or the ATM interexchange
networks?

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".

What features would you want / need that are not present on a normal Layer 3 exchange ? Exchange mediated NAT/PAT ?

There are financial networking providers like SAVVIS and others who
handle this. There are a number of others including parties with PCI-DSS
competence in their compliance models.
The evidence capture and maintanence requirements for these closed
networks are very strict so, they dont allow non-players to participate
in their activities.
The Banking Service orgs like DIRBOLD Financial for instance or NCR or
any of a couple dozen other providers do this type of thing...
What specifically are you looking to do with them?
