Is this a P.O.S. device subject to ADA 707

Many multifamily laundry facilities are using smartphone-based or card-based laundry systems in lieu of coin-operated washers and dryers.
They dispense cards and/or work with smartphone-based apps.
The device uses your credit card to get paid, then dispenses another card to use with the washer or dryer. Is this considered a point-of-sale machine, subject to all the requirements of 11B-707, including tactile input?

UPDATE: Not ADA, but found this definition of P.O.S. in the California Building Code section 202 definitions:
Point-of-Sale Device [DSA-AC]

A device used for the purchase of a good or service where a personal identification number (PIN), zip code or signature is required.

Apparently, once the device requires input of any personal information, that's when the tactile entry keypads in CBC 707 are required in addition to the video screen.
