1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
ABOUT COLLATERAL REGISTRY SYSTEM (CRS) The CRS provides online registration of security interests in both immovable and movable assets
pledged as collateral, pursuant to the Borrowers and Lenders Act, 2008 (Act 773). The overall goal of
the Act is to promote lending and ultimately increase access to credit by small scale businesses, in
particular.
Note: This User Manual provides the information necessary to effectively use the automated
Collateral Registry System.
TYPE OF USERS OF THE CRS WEBSITE The Collateral Registry System is to provide access to three main user groups: Frequent users,
infrequent users and public user. The kind of access to the Collateral Registry System that you require
depends on the kind of transaction to be undertaken. It also depends on whether you are an Institution
going to use the system to register a security interest (pledge or charge) regularly or infrequently or a
Public user who only search the registry system.
HOW TO ACCESS THE COLLATERAL REGISTRY SYSTEM
(HTTPS://WWW.COLLATERALREGISTRY.GOV.GH)
The Collateral Registry’s website can be accessed by entering the URL address
https://www.collateralregistry.gov.gh in a web browser.
Any person can access the CRS but only registered users are able to enter and save data to the
database. Accessing the Collateral Registry System depends on the Client Type. Unlike a Registered
Client, Public Clients need no client registration in the system to perform a search.
Transactions in the CRS are both Prepaid and Postpaid. Registered Clients can pay for services using
either a post-paid account setup for them by the Bank of Ghana or funds initially deposited in their
prepaid virtual accounts. To pay for a transaction in the CRS, first determine the total amount of fees
for all the services you want to do from the Fees option under the ABOUT US menu.
As the Collateral Registry is electronic, it is accessible 24 hours a day, even outside official working
hours. An application for registration can therefore be made anytime from the comfort of your location,
beyond normal business hours without visiting the registry office. The same applies to searches. The
web-based nature of the system increases transparency and timeliness to information. However, the
Registrar may occasionally suspend business for purposes of maintenance or where circumstances so
require.

2.0 SYSTEM OVERVIEW
INTRODUCTION The Collateral Registry System is a comprehensive centralized web-based software solution designed
and developed to international standards to store information on the parties to a security interest and is
concerned with assets pledged as collateral - whether they are encumbered and who has a priority
security interest.
The Collateral Registry System automatically assigns a sequential registration number, date and time
of registration to each registration record. Information retrieved in a search can establish a party’s
priority rights in a Borrower’s collateral among competing security interests according to the time and
date of registration.
