§ 336.9-309 — Security Interest Perfected Upon Attachment

Plain-Language Summary

Certain security interests are perfected automatically upon attachment without any filing or other action. These include purchase-money security interests in consumer goods, assignments of accounts that do not by themselves transfer a significant part of the assignor's accounts, and several others.

Practical Notes
Some security interests are automatically perfected without filing, including purchase-money interests in consumer goods (like a store financing your refrigerator purchase).
