The Jersey Companies Registry, which is part of the Jersey Financial Services Commission (JFSC), has won a leading international award for its recently introduced Security Interests Register.
The International Association of Commercial Administrators (IACA), the global forum for international registries, presented Jersey with the award for ‘outstanding achievement in secured transaction registry innovation’.
Julian Lamb, Director of the Jersey Companies Registry, received the award while attending an IACA conference in Milwaukee, United States, in his capacity as Deputy Chairman of IACA’s international section. Jersey was one of 15 international registry systems, including those in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and states of the US, to be considered and one of only six to receive an award.
Launched in January 2014, the Security Interests Register is a fully online register of security interests that was developed by the officials at the Jersey Companies Registry following extensive consultation with the finance industry. There was also considerable collaboration with other international registries during the planning and development of the new register, which makes available a public register of security interests in Jersey for the first time.
