A licensee shall give to the maker of the check, at the time any delayed deposit service transaction is made, or if there are two or more makers, to one of them, notice written in clear, understandable language disclosing all of the following: a. The fee to be charged for the transaction. b. The annual percentage rate as computed pursuant to the federal Truth in Lending Act. c.
