The Credit Reference Center of the People's Bank of China is the registration authority for movable assets and rights security, which specifically undertakes registration services and does not carry out pre-approval registration or substantive review of the registration content. The Credit Reference Center has established the Internet-based unified registration and public notice system for movable property financing to provide public registration and inquiry services for movable assets and rights security.
The registration contents include basic information about the secured owner and the secured person, a description of the secured property, and the duration of the registration.
