deposit" as an obligation of a bank to repay a sum of money
represented only by a writing in the books of the bank or
documentation given to a customer, and provides that a filing
is not required to perfect a security interest in an
uncertificated certificate of deposit, but such interest is
perfected when the security agreement is signed, or when the
issuer acknowledges and consents to notice of perfection by
the secured party. Effective immediately.
