(a) "Access device" has the same meaning as set forth in Federal Reserve Board Regulation E, 12 C.F.R., part 205, promulgated pursuant to the Electronic Fund Transfer Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 1601 et seq.

(b) "Automated teller machine" means any electronic information processing device located in this state which accepts or dispenses cash in connection with a credit, deposit, checking, or convenience account. The term does not include devices used solely to facilitate check guarantees or check authorizations which are used in connection with the acceptance or dispensing of cash on a person-to-person basis, such as by a store cashier.

Such information must be furnished by personally delivering or mailing the information to each customer's mailing address. In addition, Section 655.963, F.S., gives OFR discretionary specific authority relating to the substance of such safety information.
