UCC-3 Financing Statement – Continuation, Amendment, Assignment & Termination

Understanding the Role of the UCC-3 in Relation to the Original UCC-1 Filing

At US Capital Private Bank, we emphasize proper management of secured financing documentation. The UCC-3 Financing Statement serves as a critical follow-up filing to the original UCC-1 Financing Statement and is essential for maintaining, modifying, or ending the perfected security interest.

🔄 What Is the UCC-3 Financing Statement?

• Definition:
  A legal filing used to continue, amend, assign, or terminate the security interest initially perfected by the UCC-1.

• Functions:

  • Continuation: Extends the effectiveness of the original UCC-1 beyond its 5-year expiration.

  • Amendment: Modifies information on the original UCC-1, such as changes in debtor name, secured party, or collateral description.

  • Assignment: Transfers the secured party’s interest to another party.

  • Termination: Officially ends the security interest when the obligation is satisfied.

✅ Relationship Between UCC-1 and UCC-3

• The UCC-1 is the initial filing that perfects the security interest.

• The UCC-3 is filed afterwards as needed to maintain or update the status of that security interest.

• Filing a UCC-3 continuation before the expiration date ensures the security interest remains perfected and enforceable.

• Without timely UCC-3 continuation, the original filing lapses, and the secured party loses priority.

⚙️ When and How Is the UCC-3 Used?

1. Continuation:
   Filed within six months prior to UCC-1 expiration to extend the lien's perfection for another five years.

2. Amendment:
   Filed to correct or update debtor or secured party details, or modify collateral descriptions.

3. Assignment:
   Filed when a secured party sells or transfers the security interest to another creditor.

4. Termination:
   Filed when the underlying debt is fully paid or satisfied, releasing the lien.
