POS Terminal FAQ
People who use wheelchairs are not looking for sympathy at the checkout, they want to use the credit card terminal just like the standing who have full access and if needed, PIN entry privacy or even signature on screen properly.  
Plain and simple, the requirement by the ADA is a one-minimum accessibility checkout. What this means is, your credit card terminal is required to fully provide all customers the ability for full use which covers ADA Visual accommodation (Screen view), PIN Entry privacy when needed, and in instances, screen signature.
Tap-to-pay or reach and range alone does not make for ADA compliance, regardless of what a POS mounting/Stands maker or payments agent tells you.
Actual regulations require the use of the Operable Parts ADA 309 we use the U-Shape Pull Handle that uses ADA 309.4 Operation (no pinching, twisting of the wrist, no grasping, and the handle-pull of less than 5 LBF to dismount the credit card terminal for full use and user privacy at the checkout. 

Our ADA STAND is the only credit card terminal mounting that uses the specific requirements of the ADA, 508 (ICT), EIT, VISA TADG, ISO 9564, and PCI-POI and for California businesses, the additional law CAL-FIN 13082 for compliance.

HOW IT WORKS
The ADA STAND™ is an assistive-mounting technology for credit and debit card terminals and hand-helds. It uses ADA operable part 309.2 U-shape-pull and ADA 309.4 operation requirements for accessibility use. While it works for all customers, it is designed to support anyone with accessibility needs. Tug/Pull, the U-shape Pull Handle, the POS ADA dismount lightly pops up on the stand from secured-to secured free-standing from its unit (mounting), premium security tether included. A person can then bring the POS device to them independently as physicality allows, -and then ADA visual accommodation and if needed, PIN entry privacy (PCI-POI Required) is accomplished.
