FAQ
A security interest granted by a buyer of goods to the seller thereof that secures the deferred payment of the purchase price would generally be a PMSI, as would a security interest granted by a buyer to a lender that advances funds to the buyer to enable the buyer to buy goods from a seller to secure such advances.
The primary purpose of a ?security agreement? is to show, to an objective observer, that the debtor intended to transfer an interest in personal property as a security to a creditor. A security agreement must contain a description of the collateral.
What is a PMSI? A purchase money security interest (PMSI) is an exception to the first-in-time rule. It gives secured creditors who meet its requirements a special advantage to jump ahead in line of other creditors with respect to certain collateral.
A PMSI is automatically perfected when the security agreement attaches to collateral that is consumer goods. Consumer goods are goods primarily for personal use by the purchaser rather than for business use or resale.
PMSI's, however, can only exist in goods and software, and only in software the extent the software is acquired in a transaction in which the secured party also obtains a PMSI in goods for which the software is to be used. (2.)
To perfect a PMSI in inventory, the secured party must file a UCC-1 that identifies the goods sold as collateral. This filing provides notice to other interested parties that the secured party is in process of obtaining a PMSI in the borrower's personal property.
PMSI in Inventory Assume that a lender has made a loan to a borrower secured by all assets of the borrower. The lender properly perfects its security interest by filing a financing statement in the borrower's jurisdiction of formation.
