Understanding Purchase Money Security

Summary

Purchase Money Security Interest (PMSI) is a legal concept under the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) that gives lenders priority over other creditors for claims against specific collateral purchased with borrowed funds. This ensures that the lender who financed the purchase of the collateral has a superior claim to it in case of default. If you have questions or a specific situation involving PMSI, consulting with a commercial law attorney can provide tailored advice.
