However, complying with the PMSI requirements of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) can be a labor-intensive and time-consuming process. Let CSC help you with PMSI notifications and filing UCC financing statements.

FAQs

What is a PMSI?

A PMSI is a valuable risk management tool for those who finance a debtor’s acquisition of goods. It provides the secured party with the first priority security interest in the purchase-money collateral, even if other creditors hold earlier-perfected security interests. As an exception to the general priority rules, the secured party must strictly comply with the statutory PMSI requirements to obtain PMSI priority.
How do you perfect a PMSI?

In general, to perfect a PMSI agreement, the filing must be date-stamped by the filing office within 20 calendar days after delivery of the collateral, and the collateral must be specific—not a blanket lien.
How do I get started with CSC’s PMSI service?

Fill out the form to request PMSI service. Then provide CSC with the notification letter or letters that you’ll be sending, and the letterhead you’ll be using. We’ll store the letters on the CSC system until you’re ready to send.
