(c) “Adequate notice” has the same meaning as found in subdivision (k) of Section 1747.02. (d) “Debit card” means an accepted debit card or other means of access to a debit cardholder’s account that may be used to initiate electronic funds transfers and may be used without unique identifying information such as a personal identification number to initiate access to the debit cardholder’s account. (e) “Debit card issuer” means any person who issues a debit card or the agent of that person for that purpose. (f) “Debit cardholder” means a natural person to whom a debit card is issued. (g) “Unauthorized use” means the use of a debit card by a person, other than the debit cardholder, to initiate an electronic fund transfer from the debit cardholder’s account without actual authority to initiate the transfer and from which the debit cardholder receives no benefit. The term does not include an electronic fund transfer initiated in any of the following manners: (1) By a person who was furnished the debit card to the debit cardholder’s account by the debit cardholder, unless the debit cardholder has notified the debit card issuer that transfers by that person are no longer authorized. (2) With fraudulent intent by the debit cardholder or any person acting in concert with the debit cardholder. (3) By the debit card issuer or its employee.
