About CRS

Collateral Registry System (CRS) is a web based software solution designed and developed by JOPA Systems which can be customized for registration
of movable and immovable collaterals to meet legal and operational requirements of the client. It allows users world-wide access to the services of the
collateral registry via the internet. It provides an electronic tool to the client and its users to register/search and perform other core functions that may
be required.

Background of Collateral Registry System

Collateral registries are publicly available databases of interests in or ownership of assets, allowing borrowers to prove their creditworthiness and
potential lenders to assess their ranking priority in potential claims against particular collateral. Small firms and consumers are typically unable
to utilize most of their movable assets as collateral due to deficiencies in the legal framework. Also in the absence of an entity that files notices
of security interests in movable properties and determines priority in a borrower’s collateral, lenders find it risky to accept movable property as
collateral. Reliable collateral registries or pledge systems can thus not only lower the risk of loan defaults but also reduce the cost of transactions
by increasing transparency.

The system entails rules for creating security interest, effective procedures and protection in case of default, including enforcement and repossession.
This intensify financial service markets by making credit available to a far wide range of firms and individuals than would have access otherwise.

Many developing markets have devoted most of their attention to the use of land and buildings as collateral to secure loans, while the use of movable
assets as collateral is still in its nascent stages of development. The World Bank Group is supporting many developing countries in an on-going reform
of secured transactions framework that seeks to increase access to credit, particularly for small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) and its
impact on the economy. This support includes legal reform and technical support for the establishment of a centralized Electronic collateral registry system.
