    (B) A person other than a financial institution or an

terminal does not accept deposits of funds to an account, and
provided that the person establishing or owning the terminal
must post a telephone number on the terminal for consumers to
call to report problems, along with the Department's telephone

established or owned in this State by its members and shall
file the directory with the Commissioner within 60 days after
the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1997 and
thereafter once per calendar year.
