(3) “Deferred presentment installment transaction” means a deferred presentment transaction that is repayable in installments.
(4) “Deferred presentment transaction” means providing currency or a payment instrument in exchange for a drawer’s check and agreeing to hold the check for a deferment period.
(5) “Drawer” means a customer who writes a personal check and upon whose account the check is drawn.
(6) “Extension of a deferred presentment agreement” means continuing a deferred presentment transaction past the deferment period by having the drawer pay additional fees and the deferred presentment provider continuing to hold the check for another deferment period.
(7) “Outstanding transaction balance” means the amount received by the drawer from the deferred presentment provider which is due and owing, exclusive of the fees allowed under this part, in a deferred presentment transaction.
