Protecting Your First Position

Your UCC process may be working exactly as expected.
That’s the problem.

Historical UCC search, analysis, and monitoring processes contain systemic risk that banks are forced to accept, because there was no effective way to mitigate systemic UCC risk, until now.

The Status Quo

Two familiar processes.
Two incomplete views.

Search at origination and monitor after closing. Both create a perception of confidence. Neither provides a complete view of the borrower’s UCC ecosystem.

01
At Origination

Search

Search state databases or conventional services to identify existing UCC-1 filings.

02
After Closing

Monitor

Use a third-party service to monitor active filings already held by the lender.

The Blind Spot

Monitoring your filing isn’t the same as
monitoring your collateral position.

Your filing can remain active while the world around your borrower changes.

Blind Spot #1 — Search

What didn’t we find?

Traditional searches can depend on location, exact debtor identity, name variants, known affiliates and inconsistent state search logic.

Name & entity variantsUnknown affiliatesAddress relationshipsCollateral in other filings
Blind Spot #2 — Monitoring

What changed outside the filing?

Conventional monitoring can tell a lender what is happening to a filing it already knows about. The surrounding UCC environment may be changing beyond that record.

Monitoring a filing tells you about the filing. Monitoring the Borrower's UCC ecosystem tells you about the risk.
A More Complete View

What if you could see the UCC ecosystem — not just individual filings?

Move from point-in-time searches and low-level static monitoring toward continuous UCC intelligence, analysis and knowledge.

Evidence

What current processes
can’t see.

The strongest proof is the actual portfolio assessment of the California filings for a large regional bank.

4,266Total active UCC-1 filings in California
164Terminated filings the organization believed were still active
71Filings impaired by factoring or ABL financing
24Stacked filings and filings with possible fraud

Historically this analysis was not possible resulting in unmitigable systemic risk.
