Pledge Act

The Pledge Act regulates how creditors can establish a security interest (pledge) over movable assets as collateral for the payment of a debt. Since 1 January 2018, it has been possible to register a pledge in the Pledge Register, making it enforceable against third parties. The law also simplifies the enforceability of retention of title clauses and other security rights, even without the physical transfer of the asset.
