A Uniform Commercial Code filing, also known as a UCC filing, is a document that lenders use to establish their legal right to assets that a borrower uses to secure a loan. This notice allows the lender to seize the borrower's collateral in the case of default.

The Uniform Commercial Code allows a creditor, typically a financial institution or lender, to notify other creditors about a debtor's assets used as collateral for a secured transaction by filing a public notice (financing statement) with a particular filing office.

If the borrower defaults on the loan, the lender has a legally recognized priority claim to the collateral over other creditors. Once the loan is paid off, the lender should file a UCC-3 termination statement. This removes the UCC lien and indicates that the lender no longer has an interest in the collateral.
